Great quality for the price. We did not hard wire, but rather, installed rechargeable bulbs. We still installed the round electrical ring behind the square base so that a curved monkey hook could fit in the grooves for hanging. Although these pictures show a yellow hue, that is only because the ‘warm’ setting was selected for the separately purchased bulbs. The shades are actually a very bright white as advertised. This was an ‘Open Box’ purchase.
