This lamp is hanging over our kitchen table. It provides great light, is energy-efficient, doesn't block the view, and is solidly made and easy to install. In terms of design, it still blows me away: elegant, clean lines, great proportions, harmonious textures between the bronze, translucent glass, and opaque glass. (We have the bronze/white product.) And it looks better in our home than it did on the website. We're super-picky and couldn't be more pleased with this lamp.
