Looks elegant and matched the kitchen well. The chrome base is easy to scratch so handle with extreme care. This is why I would not rate this a 5 star and because the screw down in bulb base is porcelain and can easy to chip so again, handle with care. We had to shorten the down lines and that maybe something you may have to pay a contractor/ handyman for like we did unless you are comfortable with splicing and reconnecting the electrical wires to your desired length. We get compliments on this fixture all the time.  The pendants feels sturdy. They are frosted with the silver/chrome trim. More modern look than traditional which is what our older kitchen needed.
