This light is perfect and exactly what I needed for above a small sitting area that I put together where there is not a lot of light early in the morning or later in the evening. I love the black interior and exterior of the bowl pendant and it was very easy to hang. The cord is a nice length, though I did have to plug it into an extension cord because my outlet is on the opposite side of the room. The lamp is a good price for the quality and I am really satisfied with my purchase.
