This fixture is very nice and seems to be of high quality. It is easy to assembly and easy to add or subtract rods to get the perfect length. It is a little difficult to wire while holding the fixture, you will want a second person or propping the fixture up with a box on the table worked for me. It takes 5 light bulbs. I thought this would have been excessive, but with the covers completely around the light it provides good even lightning. You will want to clean the Styrofoam out of the inside of the fixture before mounting because you will see the small pieces through the covers when the light is on.  The fixture is white in color, but when you turn on, it takes the hue of the light bulbs and provides a yellowish light. The brushed nickel is very nice. I highly recommend this fixture!
