I purchased this light for the entrance of my house. The fixture I had there before was only 8 inch and this one is so much larger and lights up the area so much better. The fixture is of good quality. The glass dome is heavy duty and the texture in the glass makes the light reflex off the ceiling nicely. The metal band that hugs the ceiling is a beautiful antique golden color. I highly recommend this to anyone who is looking to purchase a flush mount ceiling light. It also came packaged very well.
