I purchase this light in the brushed nickel finish.  It is the perfect look for the foyer in our new home.  It has the nice mix of modern and traditional and is striking but not distracting.  It looks lovely viewed from the street as it shows thru our transom above the door. We had no problem putting it together by  following the directions.  It has been up a year and still looks brand new.  I would highly recommend for a foyer or even above a dining room table.
