Beware: Mounting screws are way too long!

I wish I had read the reviews before purchasing and certainly before installing this vanity. To start the illustration showing the plate isn't accurate and the screws are way too long to hold the fixture in place. You get to discover this after you have gotten to the last step of hanging the fixture. I had to undo everything and then go purchase shorter screws and hang it up again. The 30-60 min install time was more like 4 1/2 hrs. I have another bathroom vanity to replace soon and I will ...

Very classy and Bright

First, what I like. The perfect balance of light for a 4.5' vanity. The fixture is 36" with 5 lamps, and the way they hang makes very good light. I replaced a 6 lamp fixture and used the same bulbs, but the lighting seems brighter with this one. Another plus is, although it has globes. the 3" round bulbs will fit inside easily. The negative. The two screws that hold the fixture to the mounting bracket are too long. The mounting screws thread in from the back and the fixture is secured with r...

Sturdy, beautiful light fixture.

This fixture is well made and beautiful. I’ve purchased these from Lowes for my last 2 bathroom remodels. This 5-light model is the single light source in both bathrooms, and does an adequate job of lighting the room using five 60w equivalent LED bulbs. The only improvement I could see would be to include adjustable length snap off mounting screws. The included screws are way to long for a standard flush mount box. I’ve had to cut about 1/4” off each screw with a rotary tool both times in order ...

Avoid

As others have noted, the canopy and arm assembly are not aligned. Either the canopy or the arm will end up not being straight on the wall. We also ran into issues securing the mounting bracket to the electrical box because of hole positions and had to cut down mounting screws that were too long. Not a well manufactured product.

Looks great but made CHEAP

Where to start? We bought this because of the styling, it fit what we were going for. The bad: mounting hardware is junk, the long screws are about an inch too long. The decorative ball nuts, one wasn’t threaded at all. Now to the globes, they felt like they’d break just looking at them. The mounting system for them is at best. Joke, at worst terrible. The silver mounting parts, which go inside the globe, cross thread very easily. One was so bad, when I tried to back it off, the bulb soc...

Screws could be better

I have been looking for a 5 light fixture for my vanity area and this one was in my budget range. It's very nice for the price but the screws that came with the fixture were awful. The screws to attached for the wall were too short so I replaced them with longer wood screws to support the weight. The screws to attached the actual fixture to the plate were too long and the fixture was hanging. It took me a while to find screws. Also the pieces that cover the light bulb and hold the glass in place...

Don't by Allen & Roth Brand - Poor customer servic

We purchased a 3-light vanity light and one of the shades broke. I have been trying to get a replacement shade for ten days. Their Replacement Parts number is 1-866-439-9800 and you have to leave a number for them to call back. When they called back, the rep asked me for my replacement number (SB10076) and I was told I was being put on a brief hold, and then was hung up on. They should have an online order form to alleviate all the frustration of holding and being hung up on. Their message...

I’d recommend 0 stars if I could

As others said, we had to go back and get smaller mounting screws. That was only a slight inconvenience compared to when we tried to screw on the cylinders to keep the glass in place. I looked at it the wrong way and it got stuck in a position to where I could not loosen or tighten it. It was crooked so I couldn’t get a light bulb in it and this was the very last glass piece out of the 5 that we had to put up. I could see a cheaper light fixture having stupid inconveniences like this, but for a ...

READ THIS BEFORE STARTING INSTALL

As several other reviewers have pointed out, the mounting screws included are way too long. Shorter ones are needed for the fixture to lay flat and secure against wall. Best to find these shorter screws before you start install. Also, unlike other brands, this fixture does not have a hook and wire to hang fixture from while you are connecting the wiring. Another pair of hands to hold up the fixture are very helpful. Fixture does look nice.

Don’t buy this

The glass shades are really fragile and I broke one unboxing it and they arent sold individually. The screws provided are too long so they arent fully covered unless you add additional washers/nuts/spacers. The bigger issue for me is that the small mounting on such a large number of lights doesn’t feel secure. I thought it would be okay since someone designed it but part of me is worried this thing will fall off the wall when cleaning it.
