We purchased these to update the kids bathroom in our "new" home, which was covered in dusty rose tile, wallpaper, & Hollywood lights. It was bad. Got this in brushed nickel (& did a lot of other cosmetic work) & it looks a million times better! Because of our existing light, the hubby had to do some extra work involving rewiring, drywalling, spackling, etc. But the new fixture itself was easy to put together & install. We installed it downwards & tried multiple light bulbs to get the right brightness & color.
