I love this vanity light so much!  I was looking for something that resembled the old school house globes and I purchased this in the milk/white glass shade option.  I was concerned that the shades were going to be more opaque that I wanted, but I was so happy to find that they are completely white and are not translucent at all.  The quality of this fixture is exceptional.  The chrome is actual metal and not plastic painted to look like chrome.  The lights also put out a good deal of light which is so helpful in our tiny, windowless bathroom.  I would sincerely recommend this vanity light to anyone looking for that old school look.
