I like it. It’s definitely the focal point of the kitchen, but it doesn’t overwhelm the whole space. I remodeled the whole kitchen but the island light was the last detail I couldn’t find a good fixture for. I really like this one, it’s brighter than I expected, with soft white bulbs it is just perfect for the kitchen (I chose soft white candelabra bulbs, they have a cool exposed filament but don’t give off a yellow light).
