This light is beautiful and very classic.  I chose this for my stairway down to my basement.  The ceiling is a little higher in this small space so the pendant style worked great. The installation process was very easy and we put it up ourselves with no issues after following instructions.  The fixture gives off a nice bright light and gives this space a fancy touch compared to the standard fixture we replaced it with.  The gold finish is very nice and does not give me 80's vibes at all.  I've been slowly changing to gold and brass and most of Kichler's pieces are very modern and unique.
