I absolutely love this chandelier! We bought it back in July before our remodel began and it was finally just installed a few days ago (it’s now January). I was starting to second guess my purchase when it was still in the box because it looked kind of bland, but now that it’s up I absolutely love it! It goes perfectly above our 8.5 foot island and even though the trim is painted metal, it looks like like real wood, especially compared with our real wood floating shelves. I definitely suggest putting this on a dimmer, because at full light it is really bright (which is great for a kitchen), but looks great dimmed when you just want to relax.
