The light is beautiful but there are a few issues people should be aware of.  First, the instructions that came in the box were not for this light.  Not only do you end up with extra hardware left over you get to install the light using only a picture as the written instructions are very obviously for a different fixture.  Second, the linen fabric around the light is very liable to "denting" and getting everything back to smooth is nearly impossible.  It is my hope that with continued use I can eventually smooth things out.  (Also, as others have said, make sure that seam is facing a direction where it won't be seen...)  Lastly, the glass on the bottom keeps fingerprints like crazy so be prepared to clean it several times, especially if you handle it a lot during installation.  Despite these things I am still willing to give 4 stars because when all is said and done the light looks great and I would still recommend it to people.
