This fixture is a good size, and looks classy without being ostentatious. The light patterns it throws on the ceiling are beautiful, and the "gems" sparkle nicely when it's lit. Assembly was complicated by having the wrong length on a couple screws, but we were able to improvise without compromising the safety or aesthetics. We got this to replace an enclosed fixture with something that had airflow around the light bulbs. We've got 6 x 40W equivalent LEDs in it, and it's attached to a dimmer switch. It's been a month and everything has been fine so far.
