I installed this as an electric corded lamp over a built in shiplap wall bench!  My clients love the look of this light even considering that they did not want to hire an electrician as a hard wire.  The clear power cord is amazingly discrete and I also used a trim to cover the remaining cord against the shiplap.  I did have to install a longer cord as it's only 6ft, but it comes with a cap so local hardware store bought power cord works perfectly!
