I have to admit, that I was a bit skeptical of how this would look in person.  But after going to several lighting stores and reading the reviews I just had to try it out.  And I'm so glad I did.  It is in my entryway foyer and it looks FABULOUS  and coordinates with a chandelier I have in my dining room that was 8times as expensive.  So it was a definite WIN! Yes, it took a bit of time to put together, but it was well worth it.
