The light is beautiful! 47 diameter really makes a statement. The French Ash is a beautiful and soft color option. Almost looks like a white oak with whitewashing on it. The gold is more of a champagne soft gold. We havent gotten it installed yet, but we plan on hanging it at 10 ft off the floor in our two-story foyer. To create a more intimate space without blocking our view out the second story window above our front door.
