We purchased this :matching" flush mount version for an elevated sitting area after installing a Rheana 5 - Light Shaded Drum Chandelier for our entry way since you can see both spaces at once.  The only problem when looking up at this from the entry way you can look up into the flush mount version since it does not come with the fabric diffuser between tier sizes that the chandelier has.  This was disappointing as you can see the inner parts of the fixture. As a result the room ambiance is not as inviting when lit as the chandelier version. Even worse we didn't notice this flaw in design until it was fully installed because we left the plastic bag around it to keep it from getting any finger prints on the fabric during installation.
