Ok if I could give these lights 10 stars I would! So my husband is 6'8" and our ceilings are 9 foot ceilings so he didn't want pendant lighting above the island in our kitchen... so I thought flushmounts would work... AND THEY ARE AWESOME!!! I have two of these above our island and it actually makes our ceilings look taller!! Plus my hubby is pleased because he says it doesn't feel crowded in the kitchen. WIN!!!
