Beautiful Light Fixture With Terrible Quality Hardware
Assembled easy and looks beautiful. We ran into a problem, however, because the chain wouldn't reach the length we needed. I assumed I could just remove the attached wiring easily, and replace it with our own, separately purchased longer wire and chain. Should've been a simple job to switch out the wires, but nope. The bulb socket is made in such a way that the user cannot service the wiring easily. I ended up discarding it and running to the hardware store 15 minutes away late at night to pick up a part to replace it. Only problem is, I couldn't get a socket that fits the "shade" properly. So, if you look closely at the images I've uploaded here, you may notice that the bulb sits *very* slightly canterwonky to the fixture itself.  It's very, very subtle and hard to notice if you don't know or don't look closely. However, we are very pleased with our purchase otherwise. It's beautiful.<br /><br />One thing you'll need to consider is the appearance will vary quite a bit depending on the type of bulb you use in it. We tried a nice Edison style LED bulb, with clear glass, and it threw distinct shade lines on the wall and ceiling. Sorry, no pics of that. If you like that look, that's fine. If you want it to look more like our pics, you'll need something more like this bulb that is semi-opaque and diffuses the light more, so it isn't as harsh to look at. Also, I think because the bulb is bigger, it helps cut out those shade lines on the walls and ceiling. Again, to each their own. Like what you like,  but this is good for us the way it is.<br /><br />***The chain in our pics is not the short chain that comes with this fixture. Neither is the wall mount.***
