Used these in a renovation of an upstairs flat of a 1908 duplex in a nice neighborhood.  Wanted the overall renovation to be somewhat upscale but very budget conscious.  Contemporary but not out of synch with the period board and batten wooden trim, etc.  Used this chandelier in the dining room with the other two sizes for the downstairs entry and upstairs landing.  Nice threesome!  Really good look for a great price.  The shade is more white than beige.  Does it look like it costs a $1000--no.  But it doesn't look like it only costs $145 either.  Adjustable chain makes it nice for centering over the dining room table too.  Really debated buying but soon as I took out of the box I smiled.  Used it in the feature photo for the rental and got great response.
