Looks great. Out of the box the slate gray color was very close to my forest green cabinets. However since it is hung in front of the kitchen window, it lightens the shade... but still looks great. I ordered the 8w bulb but since it is only an accent light (I have plenty of other kitchen lighting) it is very bright. I am now ordering the 4w bulb. I know the lights can be put on a dimmer and I am waiting for my contractor to do that.
