I just remodeled my kitchen and used brushed nickel so I wanted a new fixture for my dining room that would "flow" with this look. This lovely light fixture fit the bill. It is very impressive for the amount of money I spent - looks a lot more expensive. It was packed very well with none of the glass shades cracked or broken. The glass shades are easily removable so you can use without a shade, with fabric shades or with the glass ones provided. Small issues to note - There was some hardware missing - so a trip to Lowes was necessary and there were no directions included. Overall - I'm very pleased with this product and can't wait to show it off during the holidays.
