I can not say enough about how much I live this light.  We recently updated our home, yet had an old fixture in the hall outside our bedroom.  We saw this online and took the chance.  It arrived in two days (as promised) and is even more beautiful in person.  The light it emits is a soft glow which brightens the area without blinding.   It's a beautiful silver color and the white part is fabric.  I imagine in time this will get dusty and dingy and is my only concern. it was easy to install and came with all parts needed.
