Pros: Easy To Assemble, Shades are very nice, Attractive Design, Diffused light

Best Uses: Powder Room, Bedroom, Living Room

Primary use: Personal

I picked these out to contrast with the natural stone tiles I put on the wall and floor, and the fabric shade softened the look of the room and provided a nice textural contrast. The white shades were also a nice color contrast to the dark grey and black tones in the tiles and vanity base, and matched those of the white sink and toilet.

The brushed nickel finish matched some brushed aluminum accent tiles and the faucet perfectly; the square shape of the metal and the fabric shade complemented the square lines of the sink and toilet.

Sadly, these did not fit in the narrow space between the side wall and mirror frame for my bathroom and so i will have to find a substitute. I am deep in despair. The shade fits very close to the wall, so make sure you have enough clearance between light fixture and mirror or other adjacent structures on the wall.
