This light fixture will work well for the rental property it is installed in, but we would not use it in our own home with higher quality furnishings. It is fine, and works well, but the cost-effective quality is evident, and you'd not be able to clean it if it were marked or collected dust (air grease, if too close to a range hood, etc.) We are torn as to whether to even bother to use the second shade piece as it looks pretty good with just the large one. It can be used either way, though. So, we do recommend it, but be sure it is suitable for the home it will be used in. It did arrive extremely well packaged and safe from damage (even from careless transportation/delivery.) We included the empty box to illustrate how well the corners were packaged to protect the fragile outer/larger shade. Also, for those who are concerned with such things, it was also packaged to minimize the space/packaging materials, etc. so not unnecessary trash after unpacking. It went up easily enough for experienced home installers and all needed parts were included. We do recommend!

Wow! This chandelier is beautiful. We are renovating our master bath and this fixture adds so much to the room. The crisp white shades with black trim are a nice contrast. This simple design would also look nice in a dining room or bedroom. Exceptional quality for the price.
