I am renovating my bathroom and I needed to get a new vanity light, so when I came across this one I was a little worried because there were no reviews. But I loved it and so of course I had to purchase it. I must say I was VERY happy with it. It is a little on the small side, but my bathroom is small so it looks great! I got the 3 light with the satin nickel finish. I think it was worth the price. I have not seen anything like this light at a local store. Please be sure to check out the pictures I posted for this light. It will give you a better idea of what it looks like. Hope that helps!

This fixture is attractive, but from a functional standpoint is poorly designed, and the packaging for shipment is poor. The first one arrived with one of the glass covers broken. Amazon (with its excellent customer service) promptly sent a replacement. Only after the light was installed did I notice that it throws its light upward and outward, but not downward like you would expect from a bathroom vanity light. The bottom of the fixture has semicircular metal pieces with very small holes (pinholes almost) that sit under the bulbs and block the light from projecting downward. Because of the way the glass shades fit in the fixture, it is not reversible (they would fall out if installed in reverse). The result is that a light over the mirror does a very poor job of illuminating your face (which seems to be the whole point of having a light over the mirror). I would not recommend this fixture.

We bought the 4 light one and it is perfect for our bathroom.
We think this is a good match for a small to medium size bathroom and it gives up a very warm light.
It took us months to decide what to buy and we are really happy with this find.

Both my wife and I love this light a lot. We installed it above the vanity. The bathroom has another ceiling light for the bath and toilet. So this light alone is bright enough for the vanity and sink. Some customers said it is not bright enough for make up. I am not sure how bright a light one would need for make up, but I think it is definitely good enough for daily use (brush teeth, shave, putting on contact lenses, etc.).

Easy install good design but does not project from wall far enough to provide adequate light for shaving and such.
great for baths with recessed cabinet.

I am using this piece in my half-bath downstairs. It's the only source of light in the bathroom and for that purpose, it's a bit low on light output. However, it is a very nice looking piece and I believe it is available in 4, 5, and 6 light versions. If you have supplemental light wherever you are considering putting this, then I wouldn't worry, but if the bathroom is bigger I would definitely consider going with a more light version of this. I also wish that the frosted glass pieces were a consistent white rather than somewhat patterned. I think a straight white frosted would be a bit more contemporary and look a bit nicer.

The unit came in the mail wrapped in masking tape and a retail box. The entire unit is very light weight and easy to install. Sadly for me, one of the glass pieces was broken on arrival. The unit is very pleasing aesthetically, but is not worth its cost in my opinion.

We had old globe light bar with oak backing in bathroom, looked very dated. This fixture is just what we wanted. Lots of light. Bit concerned about where we will order the bulbs from when they burn out. Was fairly easy to install but we had to bend one support as it had been damaged in shipping.

I wasn't sure about this light before I ordered it. Only because I have a small bathroom that does not have any other lighting. It's near a very dark hallway and I wanted something that was really going to be bright. I painted my bathroom white and setup the light. Bam! This thing is a lot more bright then it looks in the pictures! I can't believe how great my bathroom looks. The light/vanity is very classy looking as well. It is also very easy to install. Great Buy!

Two of the glass covers were broken in shipment and because of on-going bath improvements, it was not discovered until we were ready to install the lighting - after the return policy had expired. I can live with my mistake, but would like to replace the broken glass. I'm disappointed that the manufacture seems to offer bulb replacement but not glass. Any suggestions?
