Beautiful piece, and very sturdy. The metal plate that screws into the ceiling/junction box was shorter than I expected, so I wasn't able to center the light where the old hole was, but that may have been due to how first light was installed and not a fault with this fixture. However, we haven't been able to screw the cover plate on flush against the ceiling (and the nut is on as tight as it'll go), so there's a good half inch gap which to me looks tacky, but my husband swears I'm OCD and no one else will notice, so we're keeping the light. Other than those two issues, it's a definite upgrade from what we had before!
