It is basically, as listed in the advertisement. Plenty of light with the four 60 watt bulbs.
The reason I purchased this fixture, was that the prior fixture had fluorescent bulbs with an opaque plastic globe. Not enough light for my dark paneled room (11' x 16). This fixture sits flush to the ceiling and provides the desired/needed light.
I had several minor problems installing the fixture.
I do not know the proper technical names but it came with a bar brace/screws that attaches to the electrical box. In the center of the bar brace there is a threaded hole in which a hollow threaded pole (approximately 3") is screwed in. The center of the fixture goes through the pole and is secured in place with a washer then a threaded round nut.
The fixture has a copper (ground) wire and black and white wires to be connected. Each of the black/white wires is connected internally to four wires from the bulb sockets using a wire connector.
When I started attaching the wires from the fixture to the electrical box, some of the fixture's internal black/white wires pulled out of their wire connectors due to the weight of the fixture. All this was most likely caused by my limited experience and I take full responsibility. Even though it was fault, the wires pulled out just too easily and I had to reattach about four. The glass slid effortlessly into the two stationary clips and spring loaded clip.
My second issue is that the required threaded pole, washer and nut were NOT included and I had to purchase/provide such. This was needed for my installation and not an option.
I had ordered the fixture with "Bronze" clips but the one I received has black clips. Not important for me but wanted others to know.
Like many things in life, it took some unexpected additional work to complete the task but well worth it.
Hope this review is of help.

this was really easy to install, I did it myself as my husband didn't have it on the same level of his priority list. It is large, just what I wanted to light up the dining room. The big surprise that I didn't notice when I purchased it was that the white glass is swirly. So I have great funtion, easy installation, absolutly beautiful....surpassed my expectations...Best Deals for Maxim Lighting 11060MRSN 4 Light Newport Flush Mount Ceiling
Its hard to find a fixture with a low profile that has more than 1 or maybe 2 bulbs. This has 4 and it only sticks about 7-8" down from the ceiling. With 4 CFL bulbs it really lights the room up (12'W x 15'L x 8.5'H). The only thing that was wrong with mine was the fiberglass insulation was installed 90 degrees off so the precut holes on it didn't line up with the ones in the metal base. Easy fix and the only problem. The bulbs are super easy to replace thanks to the spring loaded retainer and surprisingly it doesn't feel like its going to fall off any second.Honest reviews on Maxim Lighting 11060MRSN 4 Light Newport Flush Mount Ceiling
This fixture was bought to replace a large recessed ceiling light and did just that. Also with four bulbs its nice and bright. East toinstall and simple to assemble.
