The shade is very attractive and this chandalier pvovides more than enough light. We actually used 60 watt bulbs instead of 100. My major complaint is that the rods connecting the shade to the hanging chain are a kind of pewter color that does not go with the brown in the lamp or the brownish hanging rod in the "matching" mini chandelier.

Pros: Great Illumination, Attractive Design

This fixture absolutely exceeded my expectations! Considering the fact that I thought it was wonderful when I ordered it, that's saying a lot! Because I own other stained glass pieces, I know that it's "real" glass, even though it may feel like plastic. The glow coming from it is awesome. It's on a dimmer and is beautiful from low to brightest light. The cuts of glass in amber and root beer are so reflective, and the antique brass finish just completes the whole package. The only drawback was during installation, when the electrician had to switch out the screws on the mounting bracket because he couldn't get the ones that came with the fixture to hold. He said they were too short. Oh, and you cannot beat the price!! It looks like it's easly worth three times as much. Great, secure packaging too. If this is your style, don't hesitate!

Pros: Stable Design, Attractive Design, Quality Construction, Great Illumination

Cons: Bracket screws poor

We purcahsed this lamp after looking for many months for the perfect lighting for our entry. Not only did it come perfectly packed wtihout any damage, it was even more beautiful than we thought.

The height was perfect - just clearing the front door when opened.

We hung this in our foyer and it looks terrific. It would also work well over a dining room table. It is supplied with a long electrical cord and chain, so it could be hung from a high ceiling.

Pros: Quality Construction, Easy To Hang

Best Uses: High Ceilings, Over Table

Light fixture is stunning. Lots and lots of oohs and ahs when friends come over. Compliments are FLW inspired home beautifully!

Pros: Quality Construction, Great Illumination

I replaced an outdated fixture in my eating area - a dining room connected to the kitchen - with this fixture. It instantly updated the look and gave me the "prairie" feel I was looking for. The picture didn't do it justice.

Pros: Stable Design, Easy To Hang, Great Illumination, Attractive Design

Used this to replace a really awful ceiling fan over my dining room table. I have really low ceilings (7ft) so I had to do some modification, but even so it looks great and ties in with my craftsman/mission decor. Only complaint is that the "leading" (it's not truly leaded glass) looks pretty shoddy when close up. At a few feet it looks great though.

Pros: Great Illumination, Easy To Change Bulb

Cons: Poor Construction

Best Uses: Decoration, Over Table

I use this light fixture over my kitchen table. I absolutely love it - it fits perfectly in the room. I knew it would work as soon as I saw it hanging in the showroom. I am completely satisfied with it!

Pros: Stable Design, Easy To Change Bulb, Great Illumination, Easy To Hang, Stylish, Quality Construction

Ignore the other reviewers who say that this is not stained glass, it is. I think they don't know what stained glass actually feels like. It is not glass like a coke bottle, it always feels like plastic. You should go into a light fixture store and learn the difference.

Pros: Quality Construction, Great Illumination, Attractive Design

We love this light, over our dining room table. It has transformed the room. There were some comments that it may be plastic, I called before ordering and it is indeed glass, as we found when it arrived.

Pros: Quality Construction, Great Illumination

Cons: Hard To Hang

Best Uses: Over Table, Primary Light Source

Works well over our big dining room table--provides lots of light, yet a dimmer allows for ambience. Metal supports could be darker--I'll probaly stain/paint them darker.

Pros: Quality Construction, Easy To Change Bulb, Stylish, Great Illumination, Easy To Hang

Cons: Sways Easily

The big surprise for me was how lightweight it was - and I think that's because it's not made of glass... it feels more like plastic. (And I believe that's true of other items in this line - I own two others.)

Be aware that the description says "Mission style" and you don't see the word "glass" anywhere in it.

I decided that doesn't matter, because it looks good, installed easily enough, and provides the look and light I needed.

Pros: Easy To Hang, Attractive Design, Easy To Change Bulb, Great Illumination

Even my husband likes it. Beautiful and nicely made.

We used it to replace a dumb looking chandelier that came with the apartment. I have had the Mission style torch for a few weeks and they look really nice in the same room.

I use this lamp with a dimmer, and have it hung over the dining room table. It uses regular Edison type incandescent lamps (60-100)watts; so it provides great illumination. I'd buy it again if I needed another hanging lamp, and I really think it is beautiful in the Tiffany style. It's expensive, but worth it!

I can't say enough good things about this light. We purchased it to hang over our dining room table, and the glow that it gives off is stunning. We have a "southwest" flavor to our place, and this beautiful piece of art is perfect for the space.(Yes, it's real glass!) I had no problems putting it together. We had a dimmer installed along with the light. It looks like three times the price. Simply beautiful!

Pros: Attractive Design, Quality Construction

It's beautiful in our dining area. Definitely use with 100 watt bulbs and a dimmer switch.

This lamp is really attractive, but quite a bit dimmer then the light it replaced.

Pros: Quality Construction, Attractive Design, Stable Design

Cons: Poor Illumination

I am very pleased with this ceiling lamp. It is attractive, is easy to assemble and is well-constructed. In a review that I read before I purchased this light, the reviewer indicated that it is made of glass. This is absolutely not the case. This light is made of plastic. I purchased the light while it was on sale. At the sale price I am very pleased. I would not purchase it if it were not on sale.

This light is so beautiful! I am so happy to have found it. We are currently finishing our home addition and this light will go in our new dining room. Since we have not hung the light yet, I rated it a four star. However, I do not foresee any problem with that. I also bought the matching Walnut Mission mini-pendants to go over our breakfast nook and am very pleased with those as well.

Pros: Quality Construction, Stable Design

Best Uses: Decoration, Over Table, High Ceilings

FIRST & MOST IMPORTANT THING: If you are buying this chandelier along with the "matching" mini-pendants in the Walnut Mission "Collection" (as I did), please note: the metal downrod, chain, and support rods on this chandelier are antique brass, while the the metal downrod and chain of the mini-pendants is oiled bronze (dark brown) as shown in the photo of the mini-pendants. I went by the photo of the mini-pendants when ordering, because the oiled bronze color matches my cabinet pulls. But here's the biggest problem: this "matching" chandelier does NOT match! Since I found the stained glass to have arrived intact, I discarded the packaging before realizing the mismatch, so I am going to have to paint the metal parts of the chandelier to match the mini-pendants.

After spending over $600 to makeover this part of my kitchen/breakfast nook, I am very disappointed at having to do this unexpected extra work.

Otherwise, the fixtures are lovely. I was grateful that, with my 8-foot ceiling, I did not have to use the chain provided, as I did with the mini-pendants. I really dislike that look. If your ceiling is taller, you will need to add some links; they give you plenty.

Installation instructions could have been left out of the box, for all the good they did -- ridiculously useless.

Deffinately does look like grass. I am sure that it is not a glass. but it looks so nice and that who cares. I love my room with it

We badly needed a chandelier over our dining room table in our new home. After looking at hundreds of different lights, I finally selected this Tiffany style model. We have a very high ceiling and this light turned out to be perfect. It is absolutely beautiful and goes great with all of the wood we have. We have it on a dimmer so we can get exactly the amount of light. I can't even describe how much we love this light...just the right amount of richness. We have gotten so many compliments on this light. If you are considering this light, you can't go wrong!
