We were looking to replace the fluorescent fixture in our small kitchen and did not see any we liked that seemed to be bright enough.  This one uses three bulbs and was semi-flush, so we thought even more light would reflect off the ceiling.  (We bought Phillips 60 watt daylight slim bulbs to use in ours.)  Another thing I liked was that this fixture had a glass surround instead of the lampshade fabric material I noticed on a lot of others.  We were a bit concerned that it would be too heavy, but it worked out well.  I love the bright kitchen.  The light looks so nice in there.  One problem we did have is that the old light was bigger than this one so we had to do some painting.  I wish I had looked at a medallion to use above the light.  It installed easily and I am happy that I will be able to wash the glass shade when necessary.  A big reason I did not want fabric.  It arrived quickly and the Wayfair price was the lowest I found, made even better with bonus cash from a recent order.
