Bought this in brushed nickel to replace the generic builder-grade light fixture that was over my island. The finish matches my other hardware perfectly and it adds a nice farmhouse touch to the kitchen - the little connector at top of the shade is really nice in person and looks much more expensive than it is (like many light fixtures I saw in the $200 range). The island is large enough for two stools and this is the perfect size - not too small but not large and overbearing. Was able to adjust it to a good height with the different length poles provided. Very happy with my purchase!
