This chandelier is so perfect for my space! I chose to point the lightbulbs downward. I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 for three reasons: 1. The coloring is not perfect. It looks cheap up close, and I wish they had just left it solid black. But it looks black if you're not looking too hard, so I've decided to keep it. 2. The lightbulbs are beautiful, but they get very hot, especially since they don't emit as much light as they otherwise could. Probably going to have to pay for a higher wattage LED that won't look as pretty when the lights are off, and finding the right size/shape is not that cheap. 3. One of the lightbulbs was broken upon arrival. Wayfair replaced it at no charge, so not a huge deal.
