We just finished a kitchen remodel and I bought this pendant light to go over our sink.  Our house was built in 1941 and I wanted a light that was interesting to look at and had a vintage feel, and that coordinated with our oil-rubbed bronze fixtures.  This light checks all those boxes!  I've already received many compliments on it. We have a round Edison bulb in it, and it gives off a nice warm glow.  I recommend it.
