We're just not the kind of people that would think about spending $260 on a light fixture, mainly because we never think about light fixtures.  We put this fixture in the location where a dining table would normally reside.  We don't entertain like that any longer, everyone hangs around the giant island so we made the area a sitting area.  This light is PERFECT, 150 W Bulbs (3), on a dimmer switch, it's perfect and nice and bright.  We have a table stashed away on the other side of that bookcase wall where it acts as a console BUT it will fit nicely under this lamp should we need it.  The lamp is HIGH QUALITY and packaged VERY well.  It was packaged so well, we thought that the frosted glass difuser was missing but it was there, tucked away all safe and sound.  We also received it in two days and we live way up in the boonies of northern Wisconsin.  The bookcase is from Wayfair also.  We bought that this past fall.
