so not quite as much light is thrown in the entryway as I expected, but I am still glad I got it because it is so beautiful (much more so than anything I could find at Lowe's or Home Depot and at less cost). I will always get lighting at Wayfair, great value for excellent products. Electrician installed it , so I can't comment on that. I would have given this a 4.5 if I could have, since the brown tinge to the glass is a minor issue, just ever so slightly darker than the white glass I was thinking of but I should have been able to tell from the picture that it would be this way. It is fine.
