I usually prefer the electricians to come and hardwire my lights, but I had to get this done quickly.  I absolutely love this light.  It was super easy to put up, and is very securely attached to the wall.   The cord was easily straightened and I use a “poultry” staple to keep the word tight against the wall. It turns on easily and looks great.  The style is great-modern but still with a vintage vibe to blend in my 100 year old house…if I could give it an 11, I would.
