It's a beautiful light that provides bright light (I recommend adding a dimmer.) I bought frosted crackle glass shades that are slightly smaller and placed them inside the clear glass shades that come with the light for a softer, classy look that matches the new pendant lights I recently purchased. Both lights have really updated my open kitchen/dining room space. Would work well in an entry or stair landing as well. So glad I bought the chandelier and recommend it for an immediate update to your home!
