This light showed up and we thought, this is GORGEOUS! But will it stay secure to the wall? It’s super heavy! 1. It is secure to the wall - just make sure you are attentive to this and fasten it appropriately. Anchors, good hardware, note what it’s going into...stud is ideal. This piece is high-quality and feels like a piece of art on our wall (the kind that adds to a space instead of distracting from it) 2.oh my gosh, we love this light so much. It is simultaneously sleek, modern, old-fashioned, nautical and versatile! Somehow, it accomplishes all of those looks in our space. It even rotates vertically for an entirely different lighting effect! Whaaaat? Worth every penny. ***Will add photos once I get back from a weekend away.
