Love the larger ceiling plate on this light.  We needed to move our dining room light to better center over the table.  Since this light has a larger plate, we were able to get the light centered without worrying about drywall repairs.  
FYI -- We bought 40 watt, frosted bulbs and added a dimmer switch, too.  This light is very bright otherwise and difficult to look at...but it's perfect with the dimmer because we can adjust brightness.
