This chandelier is visually stunning and very solid. It is comparable or better than ones that were two or more times the cost. The double ring base sets it a part from other wagon wheel chandeliers and is very stylish. The electricians did have a bit of trouble keeping it balanced during installation because the arms fall down unless the weight of the light is pulling down on them and it is suspended. I would leave the installation to professionals. It is very secure once properly installed. If you are looking for a large chandelier to fill a two-story space this one is a showstopper. ￼￼￼ I have 25 watt equivalent dimmable LED standard base chandelier style bulbs and they give plenty light. ￼
