This is exactly what I needed over small dining area.  It's contemporary but not too modern.  The light it gives off is excellent.  we have it on a dimmer too.  What I love most is the shade - it's a textured white, so it doesn't have the hotel feel to it which I was worried about.  And best of all was the price - I got it when was on sale and it's near impossible to find a brand new quality light fixture for well under a hundred dollars.
