Pros: I was looking for a flush mount light fixture that had a glass shade (not acrylic), was not an integrated LED light (when light goes fixture needs to be replaced), would accommodate LED light bulbs - it met all these criteria. CONS: is not a truly flush mount to the ceiling, there are indentations on the base plate that do not allow it to be fully flush to ceiling; visible screws holding fixture to base plate (see picture) which detract from the look of the fixture.
