I needed a light for a very tight space and had few options. This one fit the bill, EXCEPT, it is effectively about 1/4" higher than listed because of the nuts at the bottom that hold the assembly together. We had to remove the nuts and glue the thing together because we couldn't accomodate this extra height (as I said, we had a very tight space). The frame is plastic, but it looks fine. For the money, it's a good light.
