I replaced my mudroom fixture with this flushmount ceiling fixture and love the results.  The light was very easy to install for my husband who is moderately handy.  I like the overall look of it.  The brushed nickel looks like real metal and not a painted on finish.  The glass is seeded and thick, so it obscures the bulbs slightly.  You still see the bulbs, but it looks nice.  This looks great at our cottage which has a nautical decor.  I am very happy with this light and would buy it again.
