Made by Elk so i have every expectation this light will last a long time. I think the style is rather unique yet timeless. The design is pretty. For me, the most important reason this light works well is the shallow 10" vertical dimension which allows good clearance in a room with 8' ceiling height. Its difficult to find both quality and style for important rooms with 8' ceilings. I'm pleased.

Halogen bulbs are bright (and hot.)
