Very nice pendant lights over our kitchen island.  They are larger than they seem from the picture, which is nice.  They have a great quality look to them.  I only wish they had jute rope wrapped around the black cord that hangs from the ceiling.  I didn't give much thought into that part, but once installed it's pretty apparent that they have a thick black cord from which they hang.  It isn't a plastic cord, but more of a firm, straight, nylon rope- type cord; so it isn't bad.  I just noticed that many of the light fixtures similar to this one have jute rope covering the cord that hangs from the ceiling; so that would have been preferred since it is for a beach home.  Overall, I love the lights (ordered 2 as a set) and would recommend.
