Fell in love with this light fixture when I was browsing Open Box items - black with silver inside. Took a chance and ordered it. It was in perfect condition when it arrived. Because I wanted to use this as a ceiling fixture in my office, my electrician removed the pendant and hung it from the ceiling. It creates a starburst pattern on the ceiling when turned on! Beautiful! It is not a bright light and that's okay with me because I was after more of a mood lighting effect. I've received lots of compliments on the fixture, too.
