We are delighted with the chandelier. It gives us so much more light on our dining table than our previous fixture. We filled it with 5 x 60W bulbs, which provides excellent light, but the fixture will even take up to 75W. We particularly like the option to switch at installation from uplight to downlight, and we chose downlight. The box was missing a piece of the wiring assembly, but our Handy installer was able to work around it. There are a gazillion light fixtures out there, but we feel we made a very good choice with this one.
