We struggled to find a ballast-style fixture for our kitchen during our remodel. This light fixture is perfect! It was relatively easy to install and is BRIGHT, which is perfect for food prep. Do be aware that you will need to provide your own mounting hardware. I spent $1 on toggle bolts and washers at my neighborhood hardware store. We've received several compliments on it from visitors. The fixture arrived with a piece of the end filter cover broken. Wayfair was a dream to work with and had a replacement sent right away, with special instructions given to the warehouse to put extra packing at the ends of the box to keep it from sliding around. The replacement arrived in perfect condition. Wayfair told us to just donate the broken fixture instead of shipping it back. Well done.
