This light is gorgeous! We needed a light over our dining room table and with a low ceiling and an open concept space I didn't want a large chandelier. This drum light was perfect. The chrome adds just enough bling and matches great with my other pendant lights and kitchen decor. It is bright enough to light up the area where our 6-8 person dining table is located. I ordered another light along with this one to compare in person and another thing I loved about this light is the shade/light cover on the underside of the light is white. The other light fixture had an ivory cover on the underside so the light emitted would be a soft white and I wanted something as bright as possible.  All in all this is a beautiful light for an exceptional price!
