We bought two of these lights during a remodel of our kitchen. We put one above the kitchen sink and the other in the entry area off of our garage. The lights look great! My husband was able to easily install them. He was quite pleased with the simplicity of the installation compared to other fixtures that he has installed in our home. We ordered the lights in bronze. I feel that the color is more of a flat black with warm undertones. The color matches perfect to the other light fixtures in our home. The lights have a classic, simple beauty that we love!
