Let me start by saying this sconce is STUNNING. The brushed gold finish and those hand-blown glass orbs? Chef's kiss. I installed mine in my reading nook, and the way the light diffuses through the double-layered globes creates this dreamy, vintage glow—no harsh bulb glare!

But here's the tea: the glass is thinner than my patience on a Monday morning. During installation, I barely tightened one globe and—pop!—it shattered like my dreams of a perfect setup. Had to bandage my thumb and order a replacement (which arrived with its own cracks—thanks, shipping gods).

Pro tip: These aren't for high-traffic areas. My hallway install lasted 8 months until my backpack grazed it lightly... now one globe dangles like a sad Christmas ornament. Also, they get HOT—I wouldn't use them near curtains or kiddos.

For $12? Absolute steal if you need temporary glam (think photo backdrops or Airbnb staging). For long-term use? Maybe splurge on thicker glass elsewhere.
