Casts a wonderfully bright light-has 2 settings.  The stand is an industrial oil rubbed bronze, very heavy, sturdy metal.  The shades are unique.  They are an off-white color, fabric, and are accordion style, like a Chinese lantern. Clean modern lines, but with a touch of industrial-very versatile décor.  I chose to use 40 watt bulbs because of the fabric shades, I was concerned about anything that might get too hot.  

Pros: Well made, great style, bright light-jus the right height for our low ceilings
Cons: not a one!
