This is a statement piece in our dining room, but the crystals are not acutally crystal, but cut glass. At this price point, would expect crystal. The delicate crystals that screw into the ends of the "twigs" break easily, and while they supply replacements, the screws are difficult to remove. 

We have received many compliments.

Pros: Gorgeous, unique, modern
Cons: Time-consuming installation, delicate, incandescent bulbs get VERY hot
