We absolutely love this fixture! It adds so much style to our lack luster entryway. We totally would recommend to anyone looking to add some interest to your space. However, we did use an Edison style bulb as we thought without it the light would not look as appealing. So if you actually need more light in your space, that would be my only drawback from using this fixture. However you could easily just use a regular bulb if you needed to! Overall, we are extremely happy with our purchase!
