We ordered the Lantern Nelson pendant in small to go over our nightstands. We both have a design background and are very picky about lights. This one does not disappoint. Although it's not the popular Saucer model, it's still very Nelson-esque and gives a similar vibe. The material is somewhat malleable - it's fabric so it's not a hard plastic. I know it can be hard to tell if you've never seen it in person. The bottom of the light has a shiny chrome ring. It's packed quite well in the box. The box does say YLighting on the outside and Nelson lamp with an image, so it might not be safe to receive delivery in an environment where thievery might be an issue. The only con is that the suspension wire is not entirely straight out of the box, so it might take time for gravity to work it out into a straight line. Would I buy it again? Of course!

We like this light because of its Asian-like feel in our Japanese influenced decorated home. We installed it in our entryway and it matches the similar George Nelson light above our dining room table.

(full disclosure... I am filling out this review because Y-Lighting offered me a $25 gift certificate for additional purchases)

We have Nelson Bubble Lamps installed in our office reception area and loved them so much, we decided to get some for our dining area. We are so excited!

We have a narrow room that needed a light fixture, so we decided to try the Lantern. Looks great, puts out a surprising amount of light with a 100 watt bulb. Lamp was packed very well, super quick delivery from Y Lighting. Thanks YLighting!

Well made, easy to install, diffuses light nicely. And even though it's open on the bottom, you can't see the bulb (which drives me crazy). One thing about this light: in the photo it looked more chinese lantern-- we still love it, but now that it's hung, we jokingly refer to it as "the air filter."

The original fixture was damaged upon arrival but Ylighting handled it quickly and painlessly. I received a replacement within a few days. The fixture sits in an awkward narrow stairway leading to a loft space. It adds a bit of interest without overpowering the small space. I love it.

These modern beauties arrived within a week of my ordering them.

I hung one over each of my nightstands and they give the room a fresh and modern look, especially paired with my very traditional bed frame. I love the diffuse light they emit...perfect to read by!
