There was a small crease in the washi paper when it arrived which was disappointing. I emailed the team and they were super responsive and sent a replacement shade right away. Great service.

Christopher, we're so sorry about the crease -- washi paper can be vulnerable in transit and that's on us. Really glad we could get a replacement out to you quickly. Thank you for your patience!

It's beautiful but I'll be honest -- the light output is pretty soft. If you need actual task lighting this isn't it. As a mood light and statement piece though it's absolutely perfect.

The pendant is pretty and well-made but it felt smaller than I expected. Definitely double-check the dimensions before ordering. The washi glow is lovely though.

Hi Tara! We're sorry it wasn't quite the size you were picturing -- we always recommend checking our dimension guide before ordering. Feel free to reach out if we can help find the right fit!

I've seen a lot of globe pendants and most of them look a little off -- either too flat or too elongated. This one is perfectly round and the proportions are just right. Looks incredible.

I was not prepared for how beautiful the light diffusion would be. It's not just a pendant -- it's like having a little glowing moon hanging in your room. I turn it on every single evening.

Michael, a glowing moon in your dining room -- that's exactly the feeling we were going for. Thank you so much!

The globe shade took me a few minutes to figure out but once it was together it looked incredible. The washi paper is really delicate so just take your time with it. End result is stunning.

Hi Laura! Thanks for the tip -- the washi shade does need a gentle touch. So glad you got it up and love it!

I have 11-foot ceilings and was worried the cord might be too short but it was perfect. The pendant hangs at exactly the right height and the globe looks stunning in the space.

Vanessa, so glad the cord length worked out for your ceilings -- that's always a concern with high ceilings. Enjoy it!

I was worried the paper shade would be too fragile for everyday use but it's been up for two months and looks perfect. Just don't put it somewhere it'll get bumped a lot.

Hey Thomas! Really glad it's held up well -- you're right that placement matters with washi. Thanks for sharing that tip with other buyers!

I know that sounds dramatic but the lighting in my dining room has completely changed the vibe of having people over. Everyone stays longer and the whole atmosphere is just so much warmer.

Marcus, that is not dramatic at all -- good lighting genuinely changes how people feel in a space. So glad your dinner parties are better for it!

I love everything about this pendant -- the design, the glow, the quality. My only wish is that it came in a larger globe size for my bigger dining room. Still giving it 5 stars.

Hi Rachel! We love that feedback -- a larger globe is definitely something we're thinking about. Stay tuned!

The pendant is genuinely beautiful and the quality is great. It just felt a little too delicate and understated for my space which has a lot of bold elements. Would be perfect in a more minimal room.

Hi Gregory! That's really helpful context -- this pendant does shine best in calmer, more minimal spaces. We appreciate the honest feedback!
