Customer comments about Nelson Saucer Small Pendant:
I looked and looked at all of the lighting stores but nothing even came close to the look of luxury and style of this piece. I have a tiny place so I wanted to have everything be exquisite- Less is more but I need to be surrounded by less that is the most.

Customer comments about Nelson Saucer Small Pendant:
My father is an architect. We had the larger version of this hanging over our dining table 50 years ago! I was looking for a light to go over our game table, and when I saw the smaller size of this lamp, it fit the bill perfectly. Plus it made me feel like I was at the dining table in Michigan again!

Customer comments about Nelson Saucer Small Pendant:
Workman installing new floors broke my $40 Ikea glass pendent lamp. This replacement George Nelson designed one cost quite a bit more, but it is so much more attractive. The design has stood the test of time. It has a very appealing shape and glow. And it is relatively affordable for an elegant fixture. I really like it.

Customer comments about Nelson Saucer Small Pendant:
We love this lamp. It's simple design appeals to our modern aesthetic but is also easy to use. We installed it in 15 minutes! The only downside is the maximum watts, 60. For our purposes, it is the perfect choice!

Customer comments about Nelson Saucer Small Pendant:
We installed this light in a half bath and in the small size, hung fairly close to the ceiling, it worked out well. Doesn't overwhelm the room. The installation was very straight forward and the light is attractive all along the scale of the dimmer that we use with it.

Customer comments about Nelson Saucer Small Pendant:
This light is better than I anticipated. I get happy every time I turn the corner and see it, and turn it on even when it's not needed, just because it looks so amazing! Construction of this light exceeds my expectations, and it's installation was a breeze. It's very affordable for the loads of style and function you get in return! Wish I had a location to cluster all the bubble lamps together!

Beautiful, classic lighting. My only veryvery minor issue is that a higher wattage bulb should be used to provide adequate illumination. 100W is best.
