My house was built in the 60s, and I wanted a dining room fixture that harmonized with the architecture and other fittings in the house. I looked at many fixtures before choosing Embarcadero. The design is clean and contemporary without looking futuristic. The wooden accent on the stem matches my woodwork perfectly, and together with the linen shade gives it warmth and texture. Embarcadero gently evokes Mid-century Modernism without being overly Retro.

This light was a great choice for the money. It looks amazing in the bathroom and compliments the fixtures extremely well.

We love this light even though we had to wait approx. 8 weeks before it was dispatched. It is truly beautiful in our dining room and hangs above our table. I was surprised at the length it will extend to...useful if you have extremely high ceilings. Set up was easy and on the whole our wait was worth it. It is sturdy, well-made and just what we wanted. We ordered through lighing universe through a third party online. Lighting universe did send regular updates about the status of the order.....although sometimes that information did not seem credible and more ' computer generated'. Only issue I had was in the despatch e-mail, there was no tracking number. Customer service did respond after 24h, and they did e-mail me and call to ensure I had received the item and was satisfied. So good customer service overall. Only recommendation is that notification of shippment be sent out earlier and accompanied by a tracking number.

This is a well-made sconce with a simple design that doesn't 'clash' with other exterior home features. Good value and quick shipping, too!

Our bathroom project has taken many months, (do it yourself, since January '07) It's not a big room and we have really sacrificed space just to squeeze in a jacuzzi tub. We bought this light fixture because we liked the modern design and also that it had both shiney and brushed chrome on it. Everything went really well, very timely and efficient service, but the light just sat in the box waiting for the bathroom to progress enough for it to be installed. As it sat in the box I started having second thoughts about how it would look,etc. But finally it got put up and I really love it. More that I ever thought I would. It's very beautiful. We are pleased with the price, service and quality of this product. Thank you.
