I adore this light!  It throws a gorgeous pattern at night (friends have said it looks like cool wallpaper), especially on the black ceiling.  Overall it is just a fun, unique piece and I was thrilled by the value- seems much more expensive than it was, in terms of weight (not cheap or plastic feeling) and quality overall (shiny crystals, beautiful details, etc).  Looks like an heirloom piece. Will update review w/ pics at night, as room is WIP.  HIGHLY RECOMMEND!
