This is a beautifully sleek and modern pendant lamp that gives a minimal look but has a MAXIMUM level of light.  It has built-in LED lamps that I was worried would not be bright enough to be able to read while sitting at the dining table, but this is really quite bright and I use the rheostat dimmer to tone down the brightness for the appropriate need.  I have been looking for a modern, sleek lamp with ample lighting for several years, and this one meets all of my needs and expectations.  Note:  The tubes that hold the lamp from the ceiling can be tweaked into position to be in a 90-degree angle, so don't be alarmed if they look crooked, they are adjustable.   The price and shipping was also reasonable and delivered in a timely manner.
