The lamps (I bought two) seem very well made and I love the design. We will be installing them with lights pointing down. I chose these because they coordinate really well with other items in the bathroom, from the door handles (round escutcheons, handles match the vertical bar on the lamp) to our bathtub (Koehler Irvine freestanding tub has similar line to the glass shades). One point, one of the four bulb sockets is loose which makes screwing in the bulb difficult - I’ll see if our contractor can cement it in place somehow before we install. If not I may need to exchange.
