This light is really gorgeous as others have also said.  It puts out a pattern on the walls more so from the metal frame than from the crystals, but looking directly at the light, you can see the shimmer of the crystals.  The installation, however is a few simple steps, but one step is so dang hard it took three of us engineers hours to do it.  There are screws that attach from the ceiling and must but put into the holes ontop of the light during installation.  The problem is the diameter of the light is sooo big that you are completely blinded and cannot see what you are doing when you are trying to mount it to the ceiling. After hours of frustration, we finally ended up buying replacement screws that were much longer, then cutting them down after we installed the light.  Even after all of this pain though, i would still buy the light again, because it is so pretty :)
