Love the lamp. It is actually a really great addition to the bedroom, eliminating any direct light and creating a nice ambiance. Some things to note it has a nice daylight light tone, is dimmable, and ideal for your typical 8’ low ceilings. I personally wouldn’t hang it over the counter, simply because the lights do not extend down and are very bright when directly overhead. All things considered, this is a high-quality purchase. (P.S. Mini schnauzer included for scale.)
