We just installed three of these lights in our kitchen and office.  I am very happy with them.  They dress up the whole space, but not overdone.  The only reason I deducted a star is that the brightness is fairly muted by the frosted glass shade.  It's an okay light for a kitchen if you have additional lighting for say, prepping, etc., but not if very bright is what you are looking for.  I would suggest these lights for hallway applications as well.
