This light was the perfect solution for lighting on either side of my fireplace.  I bought this item because the fixture looks like a candle.  The glass color is actually a smokey topaz and not the creamy color shown in the picture, but it is round in shape like a candle and looks very nice.  I also like that the plate in back is higher than the light portion, which creates a nice background effect.  I would have provided a higher star rating if metal had been heavier.
