This fixture was every bit as dramatic as we expected, and maybe then some. The ONE critique, if I could offer one, is that it is just absolutely HUGE!!  Originally, I intended to place it above our dining table, but when I realized the ceiling light (recessed) is NOT centered above the dining table, plans changed.  My daughters ceiling basically called for this awesome pop of a fixture to replace a terrible old ceiling fan.  It serves as a gorgeous statement art piece, hanging in her space.  The ability to arrange the lights at multiple lengths is really fun, I never would have thought of doing them in this sort of chandelier shape, that was all my daughter!  With seven bulbs, it is PLENTY bright, too!  Install was smooth and straight forward.
