This is a beautiful well made fixture.  I had looked for a fixture that was just an iron cage (no glass), but could not find one I liked, so I purchased 2 of these - one for our foyer and one for the top of our stairs.  I was glad to see that I did not have to install the glass and it looks great without it.  Less to clean!  One small issue came up.  The sockets for the bulbs are positioned directly under part of the frame, which means you cannot use the flame tip bulbs, as they are tall enough to interfere with the frame, which is unfortunate.
