Beautiful!!! Delivered on time, no damage. Dimable, five light fixture fills out space with great light. There are three different lengths you can hang the lamp, pictured here is without the extensions (because admittedly, its a little big for our space.) The fabric that surrounds the dome is similar to a lampshade-what could be described as a linen texture. The insert on the bottom is white plastic, but still looks nice when lit. The chrome balls that screw into the base to hold the lamp to the wall chipped a few times because we dropped them over and over on the install. All overhead lights are usually installed the same way - if you have a normal home with the base hardware installed correctly, it probably will not take you long. If you have an old house, you may be swearing for a few hours.   Just beautiful - many positive comments around the Thanksgiving table.
