This lamp is a great addition to our front patio. We will purchase the same unit for the back patio!

Absolutely LOVE this light! The rubbed brass gives it a burnished look and the frosted glass is beautiful! Makes my house look very “cottagey”!!

Works great, looks great!

I bought an entire set of lamps to replace the existing ones on my house. I was repainting and well. you know how that goes.. They Look Fantastic ! Nice and bright.. the bubble/seed glass is very stylish.

We liked the look of this fixture but it did not last as long as it should have. It began rusting snd had to ne replace much sooner than it should have.

Exactly as described. Looks great!

I just finished installing this fixture, as replacement, on our stucco house. Out of the packaging and into my hands, the build quality is just "fair." As is the norm today, there's little to no quality control or factory checking of the product before packaging... and it shows. The included universal mounting plate has poor quality, soft pot metal screws way too long for my standard lighting wall oct box. But I didn't learn this until I'd already tossed the original steel screws from the old fixture plate ("oh boy, new screws, out with the old") The included new "hardware" bolts just stripped right out trying to tighten the new mounting plate onto my wall box. My advice... if this is a retro fit, keep those old mounting screws and reuse them instead. Other reviewers here have mentioned difficulty installing the seeded glass panels and I agree. The glass has been cut to nearly the exact same size as the openings it goes into, and it's frustrating trying to get the pane exactly in place without seeing the glass edges around the metal fixture sides. Add to this the slight "out of square" build-quality and it means you've got to hold the glass perfectly still, in exactly the magic spot with one hand, and with the other hand get up inside and bend over the 4 soft metal "tabs" for securing. I couldn't just rest the pane inside on the bottom edge, because either the glass wasn't cut square of the fixture wasn't square (probably a bit of both). Glass panes just an 1/8" larger all around would give some "install margin" and make things much easier. Also some of those "bending tabs" had black foam pads attached, but other tabs did not. Arrgh. Of the four glass panes packaged with my fixture, one of them had a defect smack in the middle of the glass, a cinder or welding ember actually embedded inside the glass surface. Nothing one could scrape away or pick off. Sadly, this pane was the third I'd unwrapped to attach, I'd already installed other panes for the back and side and didn't want to risk breaking off those "bending tabs" to shuffle panes around. I suggest you unwrap all four panes first, inspecting all of them and making a decision where any defect will be less noticable before putting in the first one. The fixture's internal post, the one that holds on the end the actual socket for the bulb... mine was loose and rattled around. Managed to get it tightened, but the bulb socket itself remains attached to the post at a slight angle, which means no matter what light bulb you use you can see it sitting inside the fixture at a slightly skewed angle. In summary, any "foundry" casting is only found in the mounting back panel and possibly the fixture cap. Everything else on this model "lamp" is thin angle stock with sloppy spot welds. Nothing on my unit is exactly square and you can't put a level on anything when fastening down onto the wall because no side is perfectly "true" to any other. In the end, just eye-ball it and lock it down. Does it look good from the street? Yes. But if you're a do-it-yourselfer who takes pride quality work, this model will probably provide you with as much frustration as it does illumination.
