It's a great light!  Classic looking puts off nice night, but I would recommend you go with incandescent bulbs that are 75watt (they only use 53watts); the thickness of the shade made the 60watt bulbs seem dim to me.  Please keep in mind, I am using this fixture in a small kitchen with no other lights, so the light output needed to be good; the higher watt bulbs were great and are still within the total watt specs for the fixtures.  My husband installed and said it was pretty easy; max of 15 min install time.  It's a really nice fixture for the price point, well made, glass and metal, no plastic!
