This chandelier is one of the most beautiful things I have ever owned. It was a little bit difficult for my contractor to install, but once it was up it was fantastic. I angled the piece slightly more than it shows in the photo, with the branch tips a little higher than the end of the branch. I love trees and sort of have a bit of a tree theme in my decor, so it was perfect. It also lent just a touch of modern to an otherwise fairly traditional style of design. Whoever designed this light fixture is brilliant. Almost every single person who comes to my home comments on how much they like it.
