Exactly what I was looking for! We installed it in our dining room for nice soft lighting and mid century modern look. Straight forward to install, option of shortening the length (which we did and it was easy to do), and appropriate weight (not too heavy but not so light that it moves easily when we turn on our fan). The gray color is not a solid color, it looks more like tweed fabric but we like it bc it adds interest to the light. Overall great light for the price!
