We needed a light in our 18 foot family room to replace an old brass and wood ceiling fan.  This worked out perfectly!  Assembly took under 30 minutes and the installation was a piece of cake.  (hardest part was finding 16' ladder and brave sole to clime up it!)  Bold statement piece that we all love - even my daughters told me it was cool.  I did put in 60 watt bulbs and it is bright!!!  Definitely recommend getting a dimmer switch and using LED bulbs.  Beautiful!
