My husband and I wanted to replace our standard builder-grade entryway fixture for something that was a little more bold and stylish. We also wanted to really brighten up this part of the house because it gets no natural light and feels dark. We chose this wagon wheel light because it was larger, suited both our tastes, and was priced well. While it wasnt the easiest to install (the wheel kept slipping off the hooks when unbalanced), it looks great! It is much brighter and definitely an upgrade from the old fixture.
