We bought this flush mount light fixture for our foyer. We liked the hanging ones with chains, but the clearance was too low and a taller person could bump their heads. This one looks just as good, with the added bonus that dust and insects do not get inside the glass. I really like the clear glass as well (as opposed to opaque). Installation wasn't too bad, but my husband is pretty savvy in this area. I definitely recommend as far as it looking elegant and not cheap.
