Everyone in our home is happy with this light. It's bright enough to light the entire room (15' x 20') for projects and reading. With the dimmer, the room can be as soft and subtly lit as we like. It took about 45 minutes for my husband and son to install it together. We needed both of them to hold it steady while getting the wires in place. Hanging the crystal balls is similar hanging Christmas ornaments. If you're looking for something slightly modern, yet fun, it's a great light at an equally great price.
