We have been replacing all the builder grade ceiling lights in our home and I have had this in my cart for 6 months unsure if I would like it or not. Finally I just ordered it and am so glad I did. I love everything about this light. The size, the look, the color and the amount of light it puts off. We use daylight lightbulbs and with 5 in there it puts off a ton of light even with the bottom shade. I use a lamp when I want a little light, but when I need light, I want my ceiling light to deliver that and this one does just that. My husband installed in less than an hour and no issues putting it up.
