This 3 Light Semi Flush Mount is an absolutely lovely light! I ordered it for an upstairs hall that did not have much natural light. This semi-flush mount is just the right size for a hall area; it casts sufficient light for a hall area and the design is perfect for any type of decorative style. The light has a linen shade in an off-white color and the glass piece found on the underside of the lamp is not clear but coated in a shade of white in order to diffuse the light this fixture casts. Once again, the time of ordering until receipt was just several days and the lamp and shade arrived in perfect condition. I am always happy to shop on Wayfair.com and receive great prices and wonderful merchandise!!
