I give it 5 starts because it is a pretty fixture and what I need for my shorter ceiling in two rooms. I wish the base was bronze (not white) to give some constant with the white coloring of the globe and ceiling. With such a low ceiling in these spaces the base is more visible. However that is a preference nothing to do with the product itself. Puts out a lot of light for the spaces I have it in too. Both lights came in perfect condition. I was concerned with some reviews saying their globes were broken with delivery. I do recommend but for personal reasons if I had to do it over I may have chosen a different fixture.
