Recommended, if this is your style choice. The lightbulbs are somewhat old-world type unique and give some added character (and are included in the purchase, for a nice change)! It arrived on time, and took about 10 minutes to unbox and put together. I'm happy with it, and would purchase it again, if need be. It looks great in my living room with my other new goodies I've been putting together over the past month for a new look :)
