This is exactly what we were looking for! It was important to us that the top be open to shine light on the bear painting  Wayfair’s customer service was great at getting back to us with an answer. It has completed our front entrance  we couldn’t be happier. We were very pleased with quality  ease of set up. We chose a vintage colour bulb, therefore, the lighting looks more yellow. However, you could use white bulbs for a more modern look. Highly recommend it!
