Honestly, I thought I would like this more than I did. I couldn't put my finger on exactly why then realized it was the "bird cage" over the crystals. I tried to live with it for a week or so but then my husband suggested removing the cage part. Luckily, the metal of the cage is hollow (but it isn't flimsy at all) so he was able to remove it and now I love it. It's a perfect sized Chandelier now. It's an interesting design, but just not for us the way it was.
