I was looking for something that reminded me of a farmhouse light, and although I was dying to have a hanging porch light, my space didn't have the height necessary; so, the next best thing was this beautiful light. Easy to install, if you recruit a family member (i.e. dad, ha) and looks super amazing when lit up. The crosses on the glass allow the light to shine in such a way that it creates a pretty pattern on the porch ceiling. Very happy with my purchase.
