I'm happy with this Bulbrite Vintage Fixture... It looks nice and seems solid enough. It fits right in with the look I was going for. The only thing that confused me a bit was the fact that the description says "cloth covered adjustable cord". I wasn't sure if that meant that it came with a plug attached and the cord was cloth covered to be consistent with the style? Well, there's about 8" of wires sticking out the back, but it's not cloth covered and there's nothing adjustable about it. Why would there be? It's meant to mount on/wire into an electrical box in the wall (FYI-the fixture could probably be mounted on a wall without wiring directly into a box. I actually mounted it onto a framed wood panel that I built to match my headboard. I drilled a hole to run the wires through this wood panel so that you hardly see the cord at all because the wood panel is mounted just a couple of inches above my headboard. If you mounted it directly to a wall without an electrical box you might have to drill a hole in the bottom of the fixture to run a cord through... otherwise it wouldn't mount flush with the wall. You'd also need to attach a cord with a switch because the fixture itself doesn't have a switch). Anyway... I'm rating this item at 4 stars instead of 5 just because I feel like it's a little expensive for what it is. I know that similar styles often cost a lot more... So, for this type/style of fixture this one is the best value that I could find, but I still feel like you're being charged extra just because this style is a little difficult to find. The quality is good, but nothing truly impressive. I was a little surprised how lightweight the fixture is. If it wasn't for the mirrors built into the shade it wouldn't have much heft to it at all. That's just my opinion. I'm a little cheap :) Also, I felt like it was difficult to see the true color of this fixture in the photos provided in the description. The description says "pewter finish" and that is accurate. I was pleasantly surprised to find that the finish isn't quite as dark as I'd imagined it would be from the photos. It is fairly dark but also a little reflective/shiny, which is probably why it's a little hard to tell from the photos.
