We installed this chandelier above our dining table a couple of weeks ago to replace an old one, and we love it! It gives of a soft, warm light that doesn't glare on the table or reading materials, and it looks lovely whether it's on or off. It does require 4 small 60 watt type "B' bulbs that do not come with it, so be sure to have some on hand. Installation was easy, and we've experienced only good things since it came into our lives. (That last part may not be entirely because of the new light fixture.)
