I saved over $60 buying this lamp via Amazon vs. the website of the manufacturer (Dale Tiffany). Lamp arrived in less than four days, even though I was cautioned it could take up to three weeks. Easy installation. Replaces an identical lamp bought 9 years ago from a store, which crashed to the floor unexpectedly. "Tiffany" style is actually Charles Rennie Macintosh design.

We have several pieces from this collection, which are beautiful lit or unlit and definitely hand-made/a little asymmetric. This ceiling fixture was smaller than I expected (probably should have read the product dimensions a little more closely), so seems a bit small/dim for lighting a larger room with tall ceilings. We will likely move it as more of an entryway/vestibule light. The two bulbs do provide good lighting, and I'd recommend buying "warm" lightbulbs instead of anything terribly fluorescent or blue/white -highlights the warm, old-fashioned tones of the glass.

As we have found with other pieces, the instructions for this fixture are worthless -easy to install yourself (we are not professionals, either), but need to use your common sense and intuit the ordering of the pieces from the diagrams).

We were missing a long bolt once we unpacked everything, and Amazon's customer service was terrific -we ended up opting for a 15% discount in lieu of returning the lamp for a replacement and bought a long screw to fit the pendant at Home Depot for 26 cents instead. Problem solved!

Just got done installing this lamp. It is and it isn't what I expected; I'll summarize.

The dimensions here on the Amazon website are accurate, and the colors are too, I think, with the exception of the base, which looks brass here in the picture. It's not brass; it is indeed the 'antique bronze' as advertised, although it is one or two shades lighter than all the other oil-rubbed bronze fixtures that I have nearby.

It is super light, which made it nice to install; I easily did it by myself in about 15 minutes on a stepladder without even straining my arms, and I'm no muscleman. It came on and stayed on the first try, so I guess I would call it 'easy' to install correctly.

The flip side of that is that it is super flimsy. It feels cheap. The glass is so thin that at first I thought it was plastic; it's not, it's just thin glass. I have it installed with a dimmer switch; I've owned other, better art glass QVC, go figure and that thick, heavy glass oozed saturated color as the light washed through it, casting a beautiful glow. This fixture doesn't do that; it looks like plastic. In addition, this particular style depends on straight, even lead-lines to make the rows and grid of the pattern. To call this shade hand-made as another reviewer did is strictly charitable; it looks like it came out of the workshop of a retarded monkey.

To add insult to this injury, the glass shade came coated in a really repulsive smelling oil. A few scrubs with a dish sponge and lemon Joy in a sink, followed by drying with paper towels, took much of this off; not all of it, but enough to stop it spreading the smell through the whole room.

The other lamp I was looking at cost five hundred and fifty dollars; it is a Restoration Hardware flushmount. I figured this would be prettier and less expensive; now I regret the purchase because it looks like a twenty dollar plastic lamp. And I wish I'd known that before I bought it; which is why I wrote this review for you.

Honest reviews on Dale Tiffany 2726/2LTF Henderson Flush Mount Light, Antique Bronze

I just had this installed in the foyer ceiling today. It's much prettier in the picture than in person. The colors are not as vivid as I thought they would be, as a matter of fact they are rather dull. The petals that look deep red in the photo are actually a washed out dull red looking color. There is no wow factor to this. I thought it would really stand out amid the beige walls, but it looks just as bland.

Strangely enough, I'm not returning it, because I just paid good money to have it installed, so I'll see if it grows on me. If not, I'll be purchasing a different fixture within a year.

I put his light up in the foyer of my foursquare, and it is gorgeous. The two 60 watt bulbs are sufficient for that space, although they might not be for a taller ceiling (mine is 9.5').
