We recently moved into a new home with an open floor plan. There is a tall counter separating the kitchen and the living space and we wanted something to separate the two spaces. We liked these lights and bought 3.  The "bubbles" in the glass were not consistent (one appeared more clear than the other) and when you attach the poles, the didn't come together seamlessly. We kept the lights, but we might exchange them at a later time for something we like better.
