the positives: makes a lovely pattern on the ceiling, actually, from the bulbs themselves. lights themselves beautiful in the living room and match grey sectional nicely. excellent quality light.
negatives: somehow the dimmer switch rubs against the metal lamp housing making it difficult to turn the knob. the lamp is still functional, and too much hassle to exchange, but definitely annoying and why i gave 3 stars not 5.

ideally, i would order this exact same lamp again, just without the knob/dimmer switch issue
