These are nice, and I like how the black adds an element of interest to an otherwise basic flush mount light.  Its exactly what I wanted in buying them.  My only downside is they are a littler bigger than I needed, and with all the light bulbs in they are really bright.  I think I'm going to use lower wattage, and/or possibly remove a bulb to reduce overall light emitted.  But a very interesting flush mount fixture, for sure!
