Absolutely gorgeous, unique light fixture. It has a very large black ceiling mounted panel that suspends the whole fixture - which isn't easily seen in the photos. This will likely cover any existing hole if you're replacing another fixture, which is great, but it may not fit with your decor with a lower ceiling. The light is on the cooler side, and quite bright. I've hung it in my front entrance so it's great for that area. It might be too bright without a dimmer above a table - I've hung it about 20 feet from the ground in my case.
