We love this light!  I first bought it for our kitchen ceiling, because I wanted something mostly flush, but that would give a bright, yet soft light.  The fixture is good quality and I love the lines of the outer shade, which really gifts a softer look.  It is a modern looking light, but still warm and inviting.  We liked the light so much that I bought a second one to put in our hallway.  It was definitely easier to put together and install the second time once we understood how it fit together, but the first time took longer as we tried to decipher the instruction page, which is really just a small picture.  We are really happy with these lights!
