I wanted a 'statement' light fixture for our bedroom re-do. We've gone through our house room by room and saved our bedroom for last. Feels great to have a real "grown up" feeling bedroom retreat! Really like the oil rubbed bronze look. Not quite black, not quite brown - goes well with our distressed black furniture we picked. The crystals add a bit of romance. We put this fixture on a dimmer and it ambiance it creates is just beautiful. Very happy.
