We have this light fixture in our small guest bath. It's the perfect size for a smaller room. The brushed nickel is absolutely gorgeous. It's very well made, very sturdy. It has a simple design yet adds a touch of modern elegance to what was, in my opinion, a very drab little room. As for installation, my husband did have to run to the hardware for a box. Once that was in place, installation was a breeze. It took my husband less than 30 minutes. You can have the globes either standing up or hanging down. At present I have them standing up, but will probably be changing them to the hanging position due tiny flies collecting in the globes. Overall a very pretty  light fixture. I plan on putting one in my master bath next.
