I have been looking for our dine-in kitchen for 9 years! I was being very specific in what I wanted. I've looked at hundreds of lamps. I FINALLY came across this lovely glass piece.  It is both stunning, and disappears - it blends with the decor and ceiling. Illuminated it fills the room with clean and brilliant light. It is close enough to the ceiling as to not block any views, yet low enough to fit both the classic farm/schoolhouse decor and modern sensibilities.  It was extremely easy to install and is VERY well made, the glass is substantial and diffuses the light well while hiding the bulb profiles.  The instructions are clear and concise. 
We chose to load it with LED programmable bulbs, which can be tuned to any shade of white, any color, and any brightness, and still burn at less than even ONE standard bulb.  This allows a whole other level of use for this lamp. (bulbs not included.)
