I love love love this light ! It is such a well made light, semi-flush mount Not totally flush like the listing picture and product title might suggest. I actually like the semi-flush better with this style! My ceilings are 8 feet. I installed the light in a fairly open entryway. Just be sure to consider the SHADE SEAMS when installing. I need to go back and see if I can turn each shade to hide the seams.
