A couple of the bulbs don’t flatten all the way against the socket and several lightbulbs couldn’t be screwed in without unscrewing the connection at the center to hold the internal wire to keep from twisting as you rotated to the right.

Other than that it’s perfect.

A little casual for my dining room but my dining room is open to my foyer and kitchen and I was looking for something that went along with both to tie-in for an open concept feel instead of a stand-alone sparkler that would make it seem more removed from the rest of the house.

I almost got a 6 light version.  I’m glad I got the 8 light version.  It’s a little “leggy” but reaches out to tie the dining room to the adjoining rooms a little more.

I like the black with brass as it gives more tie-in versatility.

Each 1 of the 4 across rods with lights on the end can be partially rotated to your liking for different lightbulb placement.
