This was bought for a kitchen to compliment the vintage style/era of the house, built in the 40's.  The glass is beautifully styled and the bronze on the fixture looks good vs. a brushed nickel.  It changes the look of the kitchen nicely and provides fantastic light!  The wattage is high based on other lights I looked at.

Pros: Style, the glass etching, the high wattage available for work light.
Cons: This item is priced too high.
