I love this chandelier. It makes a statement in a small open plan apartment without overwhelming the space. The tubing is quite thick. The only criticism I have is that I wish the bulb sockets were recessed a little more. I'm using G16.5 E12 LED bulbs that have the driver at the base of the bulb. This creates a longer stem than the equivalent incandescent bulb would have and in this fixture the stem sticks out so the bulb does not sit snuggly against the tubing.
