We bought these to replace the clear bubble glass pendants over our island, and the small change feels like a different kitchen! We never had the lights on because they were so bright through the clear glass, even with low wattage LEDs. These are beautiful - not so large that they obstruct eye lines, the tasteful mix of metallics works for many styles, and they provide a pleasant, focused glow over the island. Now the lights are always on! They came with extra long cables, which we cut nearly in half, and were fairly straight forward to hang. Unfortunately one of them was missing a non-structural screw, but because it's apparent in aesthetic, Wayfair has accommodated us. We highly recommend!
