hi, i find reviews helpful when i am looking for that "special something". Thought I'd pass along that I purchased this and am thrilled. Before the pendants were hung I liked Chandelier, the color is "soft" and hoped it would look good in my dining room, wasn't sure about size, whether it would be too small. Dining room has 12' ceilings, open modern house, 12 x 17' room. Also I had purchased the medallion which matches and decided not to hang it because it required silicone glue which i am unfamiliar with and I didn't want to chance damage to my ceilings. Well, electrician said the medallion was easily supported just by the medallion/holding piece that attaches to the ceiling and we didn't use any glue. When we got the pendants on Chandelier it bulked it up and they shine and reflect beautifully. It, the Chandelier and the big medallion look gorgeous. I am very grateful for such a well constructed and lovely Chandelier.Hope this helped.
