Nice light. My electrician installed it and he complained about the length of the screws. We have an older home, so the screws were a bit too short for installation. Thankfully, we were replacing a fixture and he was able to use the screws from the old fixture on this light. He also mentioned that the installation was a little backwards. The color of the light is a little champagne, but I imagine this could be a function of the bulbs we used in it. With standard light bulbs, the drum has a slightly golden tinge. It is also pretty close to the ceiling, but that is what I was hoping for, so I don't mind. The plate does a sufficient job of covering the bulbs.
