I love the look of this fixture in our beach condo, I gave it 4 stars because I wish the electrical wire was about 6" longer for our purposes but we managed to figure out how to make this reach to the drop site. Due to the density and amount of oyster shells, this fixture is heavy so make darn sure your anchor can handle the weight. I worried that the shells would obscure the light too much but with 2 60 watt bulbs, there is plenty of soft light over our dining table. I wish I had snapped a pic for you to show how great it looks!
