I'm in the process of changing my daughter's playroom into my office, and this was an essential piece! The light is gorgeous, but as everyone mentions - BRIGHT! It doesn't dim. I had an electrician put it up and attempt to add it to a dimmer switch to no avail. I wouldn't want this in a bedroom, but it works for an office! (I still don't turn it on all the time due to the extreme light - but it is pretty). The fan works great!
