I bought three of these for a house that I am renovating.  I used one for the entry and the other two matching for halls in the home.  The light is perfect in the entry because the ceiling is 8' there isn't a lot of room.  The shade is slightly lighter in color than shown, but that is perfect for my use.  It adds an understated elegance to the area and is a great value.  I would say however, that it is a little oversized for a regular sized hall light, but still works.  Great transitional fixture would highly recommend if you are updating.

Pros: Understated Elegance, great value!
Cons: none
