This light is a beautiful, signature piece in our dining room.  I was afraid it would be too much, but it beautifully accents the room.  Installation was fairly straight forward, once you have the base mounted on the ceiling.  The glass crystals all have to be hung individually, which wasn't that big of a deal, but the instructions were misleading as to what needs to go where, as they show the slender crystals on the bottom 3 rows vs. the middle two, which are the only ones you'll have enough for.  Either way, easy enough to figure out and enjoy when it's all together!
