This chandelier is as beautiful and interesting as the rest of the reviews say. My only objection is the yellow "melting wax" candelabra socket covers. Talk about wrecking a design. No one in their right mind would put yellow candles with this piece.  I replaced the socket covers with white socket covers 3/4 inch diameter. I had to buy them at 3.5 inches long and cut them to 3.25" (simple razor blade, easily done). I added frosted incandescent bulbs and the effect is beautiful.  Someone asked a question about whether this chandelier can be hung in a room with 9 foot ceilings and, bizarrely, Customer Service answered "no" because it would be too large. That is completely false. We hung this in our dining room with 9 foot ceilings. It is 60 inches above the ground (meaning 30 inches above the table) as is standard, and still hanging on at least 6 inches of chain. It's perfect.  Makes a fabulous statement.
