We were looking for a light fitting that hung fairly low from the ceiling and were not disappointed. I read the reviews re the wire not being threaded thru the chain, its fine once light is up you cannot see it and I suspect it helps balance the shade which is made of glass and could be heavy. I brought 2 of these lights for different places, one in chrome finish one in antique brass and they look lovely, hubby managed to put them up quite easily. The rim being loose is not a problem the both sit very nicely on the rim of the glass shade. Be aware one shade is clear glass and the other choice is opaque. Very pleased with both, the shade is ribbed glass and they suit our high ceilings. Look lovely with a 10 watt LED bulb.
