We weren't sure if this light would be too big. Looks great though in our master bedroom. We have white walls so this gives a cool contrast and something to look at aesthetically pleasing. Def need a dimmer with 10 bulbs if using LEDs. We got 5000k and keep it about half dimmed most of the time. Would look great in a larger living room also. Used only 1 rod as 2 would've made the light hang too low. Its also pretty big, but works with the design I'm going for. It comes in a small box so you assemble everything. Some of the ends where the rods connect are harder to screw on, be sure to loosen the holding screw so it fits.
