The alabaster shade diffuses the light very evenly and softly. It doesn't feel harsh on the eyes, even when looking directly at it.
This is genuine natural alabaster—it feels solid and substantial in the hand. The craftsmanship of the metal chain is also exquisite, with no creases or sharp, rough edges.
I have two very lively cats at home; my previous metal floor lamp was always getting knocked around by them. This lamp has a heavy alabaster base and a low center of gravity, so it stands perfectly steady. It satisfies my aesthetic tastes while ensuring safety.
By day it is a sculptural artwork in the living room, and by night it is a magician of light and shadow that creates atmosphere. The craftsmanship joining the metal and alabaster is superb��the fit is seamless.
I bought quite a few light fixtures and pieces of furniture after moving into my new home, but this raindrop pendant light is hands down my favorite. The brass doesn't have that cheap, spray-painted feel; instead, it has a satisfying weight and a refined luster—truly excellent value.
