WOW! Cannot say enough great things about this light. We put it in our sons nursery (hoping that will have it for when he's older too!). Its a nautical theme, and I wanted something that looked like a lantern, but not too much. This is just it! It's masculine, modern, inviting, and just an overall impressive looking fixture. It would go with many different types of decor, which is part of the reason I fell in love with it. If you are on the fence, buy this lamp! You will not be disappointed.
