This light was everything I could have wanted and more. I originally had a dated flush mount and put this light in its place and it completely changed the feel of the space. It was a bit off putting at first how little light would come through, but I love mood lighting and felt that it definitely added an element I didn’t know I needed in the space. It made my heart happy when I unboxed the fixture to see it was silver toned mercury glass, and even more excited when I saw the beautiful pattern it makes on the ceiling. If you have any hesitations about this light fixture, I say don’t! Everything about it is gorgeous.
