Looked for a long time to finally locate  a semi flush mount light fixture to go over my dining room table . This really fit the bill perfectly since it has a modern feel without looking sterile. It has great light  that is perfect , not too dim but not blinding either . Has very clean lines and because it is semi flush will not interfere or cover up with anything on a back wall  that you may want to see without being blocked by a fixture  hanging down.
