Now here is a lamp you don't see every day.  Not sure what possessed me.  I needed a lighting over my dining room table.  The cost of this lamp was less than the price of an electrician and a pendant lamp from high end lighting stores that's for sure.  The lamp is TALL.  It sits about a foot or so below my ceiling so it does not interfere with dining.  The lamp is stationary and the dimming feature is great.  Allows for the perfect amount of light in the evening.  The crystals are plastic.  When the light is on the reflection of the "crystals" is lovely.  My oldest daughter came to visit and loved it!! She has seen similar in shops in Los Angeles. It is a fun lamp. Assemble was easy and all the pieces were there and undamaged.  The base leaves something to be desired though.  One star off for ugly base.
