I installed 2 of these lights, 1 in each bedroom of my condo.  They looked great, but the shade was more of a cream than a pure white on one of the lights.  It was fine with my decor, though. I typically don't have trouble installing lights, though, and I had trouble doing these so I ended up hiring someone to do so (but in all fairness, I was recovering from a knee injury at the time so that may have been partly to blame for my issues installing as the handyman had no problems).
