I placed the Akiva 1-Light and a few other pendant lights I purchased from Wayfair in a commercial remodel I designed well over a year ago. The 4 lights look stunning and have always received glowing comments from clients. I love the contrast between in the interior brass and the exterior matte black finish.

the valance is white - the screws are silver - looks kind of tacky. the valance also is not flush with ceiling as it doesn't have the clearance to become flush so there is a gap.

Love it! Sturdy and a lovely height. Easy enough to install but the base is very heavy. It's a two-person job.
