We're very happy with this purchase and it was a great value for the money. I was afraid that a chandelier of this size and at this price point would be low quality, but it looks beautiful in our dining room. We decided to add shades (see attached photos with and w/o the shades). The chandelier arrived within a couple of days and it was easy to install. Since it is fairly light weight, my husband and I were able to install it ourselves.
