Progress Lighting P2713-15 Gather Bath & Vanity, Polished Chrome

I recommend drilling new mounting holes that are higher on the mounting plate. I used the pre-drilled vertically centered holes and found that the weight of the fixture, globes, and bulbs pulls the top of the fixture away from the wall a little, which would not happen if the mounting bolts were near the top of the plate. If you are drilling new holes anyway, you could drill them where you have studs and not have to use anchors or toggle bolts.A level is a requirement. You will want to make sure that the fixture is level before you drill holes. If it turns out unlevel, drill one hole or the other bigger to allow that side to drop slightly in height.Tips for the ceramic "nuts" that hold the globes on the ceramic threaded posts. Make sure you are threading them on correctly (level) because they are difficult to remove if they get cross-threaded just a little distance. When the nut is close to being tight, turn the globe itself while pulling against the nut to tighten the rest of the way.This looks attractive with standard-sized incandescent bulbs or LED bulbs. You can buy bulbs with less or more lumens to get the brightness you want. You can also get soft white / warm white or daylight bulbs as you prefer.

Mixed feelings but overall satisfied (just installed it today):PROS:. Looks nice, arrived without damage, decent value for moneyCONS: More difficult to install than expected (took way too long, and and I'm fairly handy), had to drill additional holes into backing plate to mount it properly to the junction box, the hole in backing plate for wires going to box should be much larger, the complaints many others have about screwing down the glass fixtures to the socket is legit- you either need tiny little elf hands or TONS of patience (tip: wedge finger between glass and screw-thing then turn both at same time), directions not the best-lots of alphabet letters and arrows when a narrative would have been much more helpful, the molly's were too long so had to use different anchors, missing screws to connect to junction boxFinally got it up but dread having to clean the glass fixtures when the get dusty.. .really difficult to get on and off

This is a very nice lighting fixture. Sleek and classy looking.

As with most items of this type, this item is made in China. And, as many of you know, the quality of products made in China varies. In most cases, tolerances are marginal and manufacturers readily skimp on materials/size. This product is no exception.The overall quality of this product is very good. The nickel finish actually looks like brushed nickel--unlike a light fixture that I purchase from Home Depot which actually resembled brushed, satin chrome. The glass quality is also quite good.As far as shipping. I had send the first shipment back, as one of the glass shades was cracked. The second shipment arrived with the box (cheap perforated box) badly torn and one of the sides actually had a gash in it. Upon opening the box, I was expecting the worse, but everything was good/undamaged. In short, the packaging leaves much to be desired.The installation went well up until I mounted the glass shades. I had a heck of a time screwing the ceramic/plastic "nuts" that hold the shades to each of the 5 light fixtures. There just isn't any room for medium to large hands to get inside, since the open mounting area that accepts the nuts is about 2" in diameter. I finally was able to rig a rubber hose "holder" for each plastic nut and used this to start the nuts. I then used some extra long needle nose pliers to finish tightening the nuts. I wrestled with the glass shade installation for a good couple of hours until finally I thought of the "hose nut starter" approach to get the darn nuts to start!The other thing is that the glass shades do look unusually small for a 5-light fixture. Based on the unusually small area the manufacturers provided for the holding nuts, I rate this product as an overall three-star product.Although there is no mention of the item accepting standard screw on LED bulbs, it does accept this type of bulb. Like the incandescent bulb, the CF bulb's days are numbered. I would highly recommend using LED bulbs with this product.

The light arrived in a sturdy box with all internal parts very well protected with various packing materials. The toggle bolts supplied hold the backing plate securely to the wall. Like others suggested, I used a few pieces of masking tape to secure the wires to the back of the fixture center area to keep them out of the way during final assembly. I also used a suggestion to modify a caulking tube to fit the nuts that hold the globes in place. It only took a slight modification to make the diameter of the end of the used caulking tube slightly smaller to hold the nuts securely and use the length of the caulking tube as an extended wrench to quickly install all of the globes. I mounted the globes facing down and inserted 300K LED bulbs. Very good quality overall and looks great in my renovated bathroom.

This is shipped from China in substandard cardboard box (which Amazon kindly placed in one of their own boxes). However, the fixture is encased in the cheapest Styrofoam I've ever seen. It breaks and crumbles easily at the slightest touch and sends thousands of tiny electrostatically charged Styrofoam pellets everywhere. Fortunately I opened mine in the garage, but am still vacuuming up the debris. When I removed the fixture from the packaging, a tiny machine screw fell out. Thankfully I kept it because after installing the fixture I found it was missing from the inside of the socket of the leftmost lamp. The same lamp was also defective. The lock washer that secures the glass shade to the lamp would not thread onto the socket because of a poorly formed socket. I eventually managed to file down the defective thread and add a bit of silicone grease to allow the lock washer to screw onto the socket. I securely fastened the wall plate directly into wall studs instead of using the toggle bolts, however the weight of the entire 5-lamp assembly is only held in place by two tiny #8-32 screws attached to the wall plate. The fixture looks good now, but based on my experience I can't recommend it unless you're prepared to deal with the potential quality issues.

the fixture looks good, the shades are nice only problem is that the picture that is currently on your website is misleading as it shows the lampshades at the same level as the bottom of the back of the fixture, the lampshades actually extend beyond the bottom of the back by about 1inch +or-

I installed this fixture fairly quickly and easily. The trick to adding the glass shades (as they’re narrow)...when put your hand in, allow the shade to turn while screwing the bracket on. Really, they’re absolutely beautiful. Also I installed smaller sized dimmer bulbs as the fixture gives off a lot of light and I didn’t want to see the bulb. I loves it so much I put a larger one in my other bathroom.

I put them in the washrooms with LED bulbs and they worked really well! I had to tighten some of the screws and another screw had come out so manufacturing could be improved which gives it a 4 star instead of 5.

Very hard to get the lightbulbs screwed in. Even my small hands had trouble. Definitely do it before mounting on wall.
