Love this versatile lantern for our front entrance! We like the modern rustic look yet traditional. For the money this is a sturdy quality product that is black metal with clear beveled glass sides, hard wired and can be used with led bulb. Thanks to other reviews as it helped with my decision. As much as my husband and I do many projects around our house it took 3 of us (our adult son too) to cautiously hang this light so I highly recommend to the wives out there to hire an electrician!
