My husband just installed this lovely chandelier above our kitchen sink I love and I think that it is a very nice piece for a kitchen. It gives off great light and it is easy to install. He added a string to the attachment so we can turn it on and off from its location. I cant wait till my friends and family see it and it does light up my entire kitchen with a soft light. Is perfect for traditional or contemporary kitchen and I am looking forward to showing off it at dinner party.
