An Awesome Light
February 22, 2013
Ordered this light for my entry, to bring a warm welcoming glow.
The amount of light is just right and the reflections off the ceiling are most lovely. I would certainly recommend this fixture!

Mostly great!

Overall, My husband and I are happy with this light, which we bought to replace a giant 80s-reminiscent chandelier in our TV room/lounge. A few things you should know:
--it uses tiny bulbs, really - you can't get away with anything larger than what is listed in the product description or else the mercury globe won't fasten
--This light feels smaller than I'd expected in the room, which is about 13'x13 with an 8' ceiling. I still like it, but think it'd be best for an entryway, hallway or small bedroom.
-- the metal part which holds the mercury globe was very crooked; my husband had to bend it with pliers to get the light to hang straight.

It gives off a wonderful sparkle and warm glow -- not for those who need a lot of light though!

Lovely, soft glow
November 14, 2012
I love mercury glass and am thankful PB carries so much of it. I bought this to replace a builder grade flushmount fixture in my small entryway.
Overall I like the design. The metal is a brushed bronze (which I didn't realize until I opened the package despite the pictures) and because I prefer chrome or nickel, I spray painted the metal with a brushed nickel finish which I think works better with the slivery mercury.
My only complaint is that the wattage is low. It takes 2 20 watt bulbs and my previous fixture was two 60s. Fortunately for me, the entry way is really small so it's okay. But, if you're hoping that it'll cast a lot of light, it won't. I have to use another light to see in the coat closet.
A minor issue is that the hole for the rod, where the finial screws into, is not centered. It doesn't hurt anything and probably no one else would notice but it really would be better if it were centered.

Didn't work out
October 22, 2012
Unfortunately, this was shipped to us with a softball sized hole in the glass canopy, even though the packaging was perfect. Went straight back to PB.

Different finish
October 18, 2012
This fixture was perfect for my bedroom, before the finish was changed to bronze! So disappointing. Any chance it will be going back to the nickel finish???
