We bought a new build house, it came with all the lighting but it wasn't our choices since it was already built. The show home that we saw of our exact home had these darker lights and we really loved the boldness and look of them. The ones that came with our home were white and silver. So we wanted to buy something similar to what the show home had and not pay an arm and a leg especially because we had working nice lights just wanted to upgrade the look a bit. We bought this light set for our stair case, chandelier, & a pair of pendant lights for over our kitchen island, on a flash sale that Wayfair was having. We are so very satisfied with our purchases and would do it again and again. We have that "upgraded" look without having to spend those regular "upgraded" prices. Love it
