This is beautiful fixture. First, it's relatively easy to install. Some simple tools, a little patience and installation completed in about 90 minutes, not counting pulling out the existing fixture. Allocate 3 hours total if you don't do this for living. Easier with two people, in fact, probably not possible with only one person. 

Quality - it's a solid, seemingly well built fixture.
Appearance - I've matched it up with my stainless appliances, and to me, the looks are complimentary.
Quality of light - Fantastic. The diffusion glass provided the exact type of light I was looking for, and directly over the area required - The kitchen island. My eyes are not strained when working in the kitchen any more.
Price - couldn't beat it, but in full disclosure, I picked it up on Cyber Monday. I was however, tempted to buy it even before that, for considerably more.
