This is a NOT a very well made light.  It is just OK.  The pieces do not quite go together perfect, but once hanging...who really looks that close.  For the price its just OK.  The light is really not task lighting.  If you want to sit at your dining table and play a board game, get lighting that faces the table.  This will light up the room adequately but not the actual table surface.  I'm keeping it because I dont really feel like packing it back up and returning.  You get what you pay for I guess, but for $300 plus I expected a little better.  This will be replaced down the road with a better light.  I would not recommend for a home that costs over $350K.  For a starter home it will do.
