This chandelier is perfect for our dining room.  I had one of the 9 light chandeliers in our old house and I'm glad I downsized a bit to the 6.  It affords plenty of light and doesn't overwhelm the space.  It takes a bit to unpack but that's little concern since it was packed for maximum protection. I also bought the 3 light for our entry and again, it was perfect for that space. Very easy to install.
