Ekena Millwork CMP16BA Baltimore Ceiling Medallion, 16"OD, Unfinished

As many of the reviews have mentioned, this is made of plastic (as per the description). The backing is hollow, which you can see in the second product image, though I was actually surprised at how strong it was given some of the other reviews. I don't see it bending or drooping at any point—it's honestly just too light for that to happen. Ours arrived in perfect condition and sat flat against our ceiling without issue. We've already ordered another one that also arrived in perfect condition. We installed it in our dining room and it looks wonderful up close and from a distance. Here's what we did to make it look convincing: 1. Paint it!! This product is intended for paint, so if you skip this step it will look like plastic (because it is). Paint it to match your ceiling or your trim, or anything else you'd like, but do not skip this. (We did three coats of a matte white). 2. If you need to cut a larger hole in the middle ring to accommodate your electrical box, use the right tool. We have a pair of construction shears (not sure what you'd call them), which can cut through thin sheets of metal. They cut through this easily without cracking it or breaking it. 3. Glue it to the ceiling, don't nail it. We didn't want it to be permanent, so we actually used a thin strip of caulk along the flat inner part of the medallion. Caulk is sticky enough to hold it in place, but easy to remove. The medallion is very light, so this combined with your light's canopy will be more than enough to keep it from moving. 4. CAULK THE EDGE. If you don't do this, it will look like a plastic add-on. And if your medallion doesn't lay flat/or your ceiling isn't level, caulk will solve it.

In the picture, it looks pretty. But too expensive for the product.

Es como un plato desechable, pero de plástico más grueso, pero ya pintado y colocado se ve bien y nadie nota la diferencia entre este que es de plástico hueco y otros que son sólidos. Es de tamaño pequeño, esta bien para habitaciones pequeñas.

Looks great! I didn’t even end up cocking or painting it, and it looks perfect. When I removed an old light fixture in my laundry room I realized I had a hole much larger then a standard light box so this was the perfect solution and adds some cute character and charm into the space.

El materia es plástico pero en general da un aspecto de calidad y es fácil de colocar
