Whoever says money doesn't buy happiness, clearly hasn't seen this chandelier.  I skillfully hinted to my husband that it would be an excellent 6th (iron) anniversary gift, and I couldn't be more pleased.  It is the perfect sparkle for my transitional,  very open, townhouse.  It would be appropriate in nearly any setting sophisticated with its drum, but still all the sparkly glimmer to make the little girl in you want to do cartwheels:)  Installation was SO easy, my husband is NOT AT ALL handy and had it up and glowing in under 30 minutes.  It isn't super heavy, but is still well constructed.  I choose to use Edison style bulbs, which are visible when you're seated at the table and give it a little bit of unexpected industrial edge which is easy to do because the piece already has such clean metallic lines.  You literally can't go wrong with this chandelier!
