This is for my dining room in an open space type home.  I would have preferred bronze but it looks fine in black.  It was fairly simple to install once you read the instructions.  It is very bright so we purchased the dimmer recommended by the manufacturer (about $78).  This fixture is to replace a chandelier that hung in front of a large gong and hid it, so the idea of a ceiling hugging fixture was our first need.  And since this light is sort of asymmetrical it filled another need and that is: The outlet for the fixture is in the middle of the ceiling and the dining room table is rectangular so this fixture  fools the eye a bit and goes better with our long table.  The last circle hung a bit lower but we used a tiny wire to the ceiling to hold it in place.  It's just in time for the olympics! too!
