The light is beautiful itself, and I wanted it to work. But, my husband could not get it mount on the ceiling straight... the mounting hardware won't allow the top of the fixture to stay flush with the ceiling... it seems to be a manufacturing issue with the way the light should attach to the mounting hardware. I was almost ok with having it look a little askew, but them we turned on the light (with the recommended bulbs) and it was such a dim light, it's not going to work for our space. We wanted to use it in a kids' playroom, but the amount of light that it gives off is so little, there's no way this will be a good option for a room that needs good light. It's more a of cigar den light that's emitted. I NEVER send stuff back, and I had to send this one back.
