Very classy. Traditional but with a modern edge. Looks great in my stairwell! Keep in mind this is a narrow closed in stairwell in an older home and the size works well. But if I had a bigger space, I’d want a bit larger fixture. I used a soft white 60 watt equivalent oblong edison bulb. I’m a little concerned about how I’m going to dust it…I will be needing one of those super long dusters I guess.
