This is a nice chandelier. I thought by the pictures that the lights were in a straight line. They are actually positioned so the chandelier is round. The globes or "shades" are pretty with little bubbles in the glass that add a little extra dimension to the lighting. It is not large enough for my large open dining/living room so rather than using it as a dining light, I may use it in my open stairway/entryway. It is a good value for the money and it is an attractive fixture. I like it.
