I bought this fixture for a peninsula in our summer cottage.It is a little darker in color than pictured, but  I  still love it.   It has a very casual "beach"  look that we wanted.  We haven't installed it yet, but it looks wonderful.  Came packaged very well.  Since it is a maximum 60 watt bulb, I would recommend it be used where there will be other lighting as well.  Great light for the price.
