I bought this fixture because the Foyer light that came with our home was an upside down Bell fixture which caught all the dust and bugs for an unsightly look.  My husband and I had to take it down to clean because it was difficult to handle with one person.  What a chore!  Now this new fixture has no glass and all I have to do is dust it with a feather duster and no problems.

Pros: Easy to install as the fixture comes all in tact.  Easy to maintain for replacing bulbs and cleaning.
Cons: I did not have this fixture years ago.
