Starting off with the positive, these light are positively beautiful and very unique. I spent a long time looking for something that fit our decor, and these were perfect. The way they glow through the thin veneer and show through the wood grain is breathtaking at night. As far as the negatives go, I feel these were rather expensive for what they actually are very thin veneer wrapped around a light fixture. The veneer is so thin that you do have to take caution when handling them, otherwise they can break and snap. Also, the light fixture inside the shade is visible from lower viewing angles, which leaves exposed a black cord and chrome base for the bulb. If they could have incorporated some design element like a sheath on the inside of the shade to hide the internals, I would habe given this 5 stars, but as it stands now, it does distract from the lights beauty a bit, and for this price Id expect better. I ordered the cherry wood, and its actual color was slightly lighter and more reddish than the render online. Not a negative, just an FYI.

STUNNING!!! Just as pictured. Very bright light, which was important for me. Have bought 4 now, looking forward to more

Even though I think the piece is quite beautiful, the look and feel of the wood is not what I expected. It feels a bit plastic and once installed if they are placed high on a wall, you can see the silver metal socket. I think the lightbulb inside should be placed one small looking down and another facing up so you have light coming on both directions and you don't see any metal sticking out. I might return the items, not a 100% convinced.

Beautiful light that I tried desperately to return to Wayfair. I had no idea that the $450 light is non-refundable. I'm sure it said it somewhere along the way in my order but I was shocked when I wasnt able to return and Wayfair was 0% help. I will never shop at Wayfair again after this, and I'm deleting my account with them. The light is beautiful though!

Stunning! Difficult to install and as other reviewers have mentioned - unfortunate that you see the chrome plate. Not visible in this photo but definitely something to be aware of. If you are seated and looking at the light higher than eye level you will see a bright shiny chrome plate in an otherwise calm sea of warm diffused light. I removed one star for the design flaw. Installation is a hassle - tiny little screws, hard to tighten behind the shade - silly. I didn’t remove a star because in the end, it works. That said it’s absolutely gorgeous for our beach home and worth the price and hassle.
