We remodeled our kitchen in gray and white and I wanted this light for above the sink. It is the perfect shade of red and I would have rated it a 5, but the rim that holds the glass over the bottom did not fit on! The electrician even tried putting the shade in our freezer and using a blow dryer to expand the rim that holds the glass, but to no avail!! Since the light was essentially installed except for the rim/glass part, I did not want to bother returning it. The light still looks very nice, even though you can see directly to the naked bulb.
