Chic and inexpensive. Easy installation. 

I bought 3 of these. Two are used in the dining room (nickel), while one (brass) was used in the stairway to the second floor. The one purchased for the stairwell was brass, but a bit of sanding and and 2 coats of good spray paint made it look like wrought iron. The frosted shades are pretty and cast ambient light on a dimmer, but plenty when turned-up.
