This is a decent light.   It is very easy to assemble.   I have a traditional home but wanted to upgrade/update hallway light fixtures without using standard flushmount fixtures...   This fit the bill.   I wish the shade were more white or off-white.   It is really an ecru,   and has a definite golden/yellowish tint to it (the shade).    I think it would be more attractive in white or off-white.   It puts out good light, despite the diffuser...   When installing,  you need to be aware of the side brackets and ultimately hang the fixture so that they are the least noticeable as they show thru the shade...  not badly,  but just aware...   overall a good purchase.
