Nice light! Love the color of the shade - a nice cream oatmeal with good texture. Had a very hard time finding a wall sconce that would give off enough light for our stairwell with vaulted ceilings. Looks great from bottom of stairs and straight on. Can see top into shade from top of stairs like other reviews mentioned. It’s doesn’t bother me enough to exchange with how hard it was to find a light style that I liked and that gave off enough lumens.
