So far, so good! I was looking to replace a very heavy-looking chandelier with something lighter and more elegant, and I think this will work. It's not actually hung on the ceiling yet, because I need to get bulbs for it, which aren't included. Maybe that was in the description, in which case I should have read it all more thoroughly. (Read the small print, people!) Apart from the lack of bulbs, it looks like a nice chandelier for the money.
