We just installed these sconces on either side of our bed and we are very happy! Pleasantly surprised with the quality, didn't expect much from the price. The glass is nice, the finish on the fixture is a nice dark black, and the arm seems to work well. They were a little tricky to mount and get to a secure point, hence the 4 stars. We hardwired the lights and that was easy enough to connect. Really like that there is a switch on each fixture.
