I am super picky about this sort of purchase: those house materials that will be permanently installed into my home. This was replacing an ugly, flush-mount dome light outside my front door. It is great quality, of both durable metal and frosted glass, and a nice size - substantial enough that it doesn't get visually swallowed up on my large open porch, but not too big. The length of the pendant allows you options for positioning. It's a charming addition to my porch. matches the "Wright house 1-light outdoor wall lantern," which I got for my side door.
