I was so excited to find this chandelier! My previous pendant was from the early 1980s, so I wanted to updated the look. This adds a more modern touch to my dining room, now converted to a cozy sitting room instead. At first I thought the chandelier would be too massive for the room. I chose the smaller of the two versions offered, which worked just right. It was easy to assemble. I recommend having two people hang it, as it is somewhat heavy when lifted toward the ceiling. When turned on, the metal appears yellowish, but in the natural sunlight, the true brushed,  white gold color, is seen. On a dimmer, there is plenty of light for reading when turned up, but on a lower setting, it creates a very nice ambience for the room. Im so happy with my purchase and it arrived very quickly!
