We chose this lamp because of its style but mostly because the description indicated a 60" width which is exactly what we needed for our upstairs bathroom to be placed above the double sink vanity with a full wall width mirror.  The box arriving, slightly over 3' wide, was our first indication of not receiving a 5' light.  We held it up to the designated spot and while we think it will be ok, we were disappointed it wasn't the width described.  It is being installed soon once the painting is complete; hopefully, we will nevertheless, be happy with our choice.
