Title: Pretty, but not practical, and poorly packaged for shipment
Review: 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.
