I got this light fixture online, so when it actually arrived I was excited to see if it was going to actually live up to my hopes.  The quick answer is YES, it's beautiful and seems to be nice quality.  It's reasonably large as well -- (yes, it says the dimensions on the website, but it's always different when you actually see it in person).  

Mounting and use is fairly straight forward, but as you probably anticipated, you need to find a good location to hang this from (it's top ring is how the fixture is suspended from above).  You also need power from above.  No surprises and fairly straight forward if you know what to expect.

Overall, I would definitely recommend this item.  The style is good, the quality is good -- what else can I say?
