Love this light!! It replaced a very dated looking light that was left here from the previous owner. Easy to install. Gives great light for above the dining room table. I don't like dimmers so we used slightly less powerful CFLs and it looks great. I wish the shade was a brighter white instead of the off white, but that's fairly minor. We have it installed on a sloped ceiling and we do wish it came with a longer chain so we could hang it a bit lower. But so far that's been the only problem we've had with it and why it has a 4 star instead of five rating.
