This light is hanging in our 111 year old house.  It is placed in the staircase connecting the second and 3rd floors. This light is so simple, yet so stunning because of its simplicity. I would buy this again in a second.  We are very happy with this product. My only recommendation is that this is a 1 light fixture.  We weren't concerned about it being very bright due to the location not being used often.  If you want bright- bright, consider hanging in a naturally light area or with other lights.
