This light fixture took forever to install. I've replaced many light fixtures and this one, by far, took the longest. The nipple screw is barely long enough to screw into the fixture pan and secure with a bolt AND have enough length the attach the cap and finial. I'm waiting for the day that the glass comes crashing down. It doesn't seem safe or secure to me. The glass was scratched on both sides. Its only visible when the light is on but it looks really bad. Not what I would expect from a brand new fixture. It looks great in my room; however, all the negatives means I won't buy it again.
