The seeded glass gives a very nice look. I put it with a large round iron mirror and the birch tree wallpaper from Wayfair with the black backround and it looks very contemporary but blends in with the nature look of our Northwoods home. The only negative is screwing the light bulbs in takes a ladies size hand. My husband's hand was too big. I used clear 40 watt bulbs until I get the Edison filament bulbs. I did get the light at a very good sale price.
