I like this light a lot. I wanted something with some texture and this one seemed to fit the bill. In the picture the outside looked a bit softer but up close it has more of a rattan look to it. I wasn't sure until I put it up. It looks great. With three LED bulbs it lights the room up well. I put this light in my family room and it is just big enough to add a little style to the room but not too big to over power it. For a family room you might want something a bit larger.
