We had a really odd place for a light in our master bath. Previously, there was  large chandelier attached to a wood beam (hollow) and my 6'3" husband nearly hit his head on it every day. And even though ceiling is pitched (and probably 14-16' tall) and should have allowed for a larger light neither one of us really wanted something  so obtrusive. This light is really flexible in style and worked well with the chrome hardware and cherry wood in the bathroom. This light is large but doesn't shout "look at me."
