It has an eclectic feel to it  gives off sultry mood lighting w 40 watt bulbs. The shade is richer in tone than the photo (kind of peachy) that is why I only gave 4 stars and the gold frame is also. I didnt install it but the person who did, hung it quickly. This sits close to the ceiling so if youre looking for something lower, this isnt the fixtures for you. Its different and I like it. It is very versatile but if youre only buying one, this fits best in a smaller room.
