I was in love with this light from the moment I saw it. Loved it out of the box and was excited to hang it. Unfortunately, in the space where I needed to hang it, you could not see the shad very well and all you saw was the light bulb and white interior of the shade. Perfect for an area where you can hang it a bit lower like an island etc. but keep in mind when you are close to it you don’t see the beautiful shade - just the lightbulb. So sad to have to return this. Just couldn’t find a way to make it work.
