I was looking for a chandelier to match the style of my distressed dining room table. This hit the mark. It totally transformed the look of my room. It's noticeable both day and night. I purchased the recommended lightbulbs and they are perfect. They give a warm glow at night and make the room look comfy and cozy. The electrician assembled and installed it and didn't have any issues (but he is an electrician). If you want bright light, then you might think about purchasing different bulbs. My recent guests even noticed the new chandelier and they loved it, too!
