I absolutely love this light. For those of you considering it, give it a try!! The metal is strong and sturdy, no plastic parts, a beautiful chrome finish. After ordering it I thought the shade was plastic and was thrilled to see it’s a beautiful fabric shade upon arrival. I seriously love this lamp. Very sturdy and well built. The only complaint is that the screws for attaching it to the ceiling junction were messed up so I needed to replace them with new ones, super easy to find at any hardware/home store.
