I was a little concerned when I got this fixture because of the four thin wires helping to keep it level. It was to be hung in our dining room which features expansive views of San Francisco and the Golden Gate. I was pleasantly surprised at how gorgeous it looks. The thin wires do not even register. It was a little difficult to install because we did want to use the chain opting instead to have it hug the cealing, but that's small issue in the scheme of things.
