I wanted a new chandelier for my dining room and bought this one because I really liked the design and it had good reviews.  It arrived exactly as described.  I was able to put it together by myself, but my brother-in-law actually did the "hanging".  All went well.  It's very bright with the five lights.  I can't image how bright it would be with chandeliers that have more lights.  I may even ask my brother-in-law to install a dimmer switch, but for right now, I'm enjoying the light. (my old chandelier had 2 broken lights, so I had gotten kind of used to being in a not very well lighted room).  I really love my new chandelier.

Pros: great design, very sturdy, gives off very adequate light, just the right size and looks great in my dining room.
Cons: No cons.
