Such a stunning light! This light is modern, sleek, in a very sophisticated design. I give it a 10 on a scale of 1 to 10. I installed it in my stairwell and it provides plenty of light to walk updown a flight of stairs. The light stands about two - four inches away from the wall, however, the base is flush. So ensure to use the mounting bracket provided because it matches the base of the light fixture. Absolutely easy to install, it took me less than a hour. I most definitely recommend this product.
