I love this light! We purchased to hang over our round dining room table and adjusted the height to above eye level of the tallest person in our family. It creates such a warm light,which we have on a dimmer switch for mood adjustment. I read about the 2 visible seams and took a chance and find they are no big deal, just part of the natural cork look. Love that the filter is a lightly frosted glass. Ours arrived with a scratch on the pendant part and when I contacted customer service they wanted to replace it for us but I hung it up as it was ( mostly because I couldn't wait to see it up!) and the scratch isn't visible so no need to bother with it. Very happy with the purchase and customer service overall.
