We’re very happy with this light. It replaced a very long ugly chandelier that I would always hit my head on. This makes the room look much larger and classy. It was our first time installing a new light fixture so we learned you 100 need 2 people. Also, do not completely assembly the fixture with the bottom glass piece as the directions suggest before connecting to the ceiling - you won’t be able to screw it in to the ceiling piece. you have to put the glass piece on last (this is not what the directions say). . We were able to turn the shade so the seam faces the wall after it was fully installed so that wasn’t a problem for us. Also, this fixture holds 4 bulbs which we thought was way too bright for a dining room so we only put two in.
