We purchased this light fixture for our baby girl's nursery. I wanted something more interesting then the basic flush mount, florescent light fixtures that are sold at the big box stores. And also, I found this fixture on a big box store website for more then double! This light fixture has style and adds a feminine touch to the room, though I think it would also look great in a sitting room/guest room. It was easy to install and I have no complaints. It is beautiful!
