I am in the process of updating my house, room by room, and started with the dining room. I chose this chandelier for the price and the style, because it would fit perfectly with the remodeling I had in mind and because out of all the chandeliers I had seen through Home Depot, Lowes, local lighting places and other online companies, Wayfair had the best selection. This Chandelier is in our dining room and complements the open floor concept we have perfectly! Our ceiling has a cylindrical opening for the placement of a chandelier and once we set it up it dramatically changed our living space! The iron is dark bronze with a lining of light bronze running along the curves and around the vases. The vases are beautiful and when lit create a soft swirl of amber coloring. The installation was an easy process taking less than an hour to set up. Perfect, perfect buy!!
