I really like this fixture, it was way cheaper than the shell ones in the lighting stores.It is maybe not got as many shell drops, but for the price, l am happy with it. One mistake l made was not checking all the specifications .This was replacing a pot light fixture so the hole in the ceiling was too big for the piece that attaches on this light. But we bought a white metal replacement piece and the electrician figured out a way to hang it.......looks lovely now!
