I recently upgraded all the lighting in my kitchen (cabinets and counters will have to wait a bit). I love these lights. I get a ton of compliments. A few lighting changes and some paint have upgraded the kitchen enough that I feel like I have a new kitchen. I was choosing between these and some similar, very nice, lights from the Pottery Barn.  These won out.  My seven year old nephew sealed the deal when he said he liked these more because they looked more modern!
