It is a unique light and the style I was looking for... It is reasonably well made. However, they sent me the wrong finish and I did not have the time to return... so had to paint it. Also it is rather shallow so even a very short bulb shows on the very bottom. I have not found any outdoor rated bulb that will work and not stick out inches! But nice down light and really good if you do not want to annoy the neighbors or have light restrictions.
