Spent hours trying to decide what kind of chandelier or ceiling lights for our funky "new-to-us" living room. The room is 23 X 17 feet with a 17 foot ceiling at the peak. After2 consultations with electrical contractors, decided to go with a single chandelier to avoid the potential complications of multiple wiring points in the the 75 year old plaster ceiling. Went with this chandelier to provide enough light in any circumstance. We could not be more happy with the result for the price. Assembly a bit finicky, but was manageable in < an hour.  Provides plenty of light for this space. We normally have the dimmer set at 1/2.
