The light was exactly what I was looking for. My house was built in 1909 and the style fits perfectly. The bulbs are 60 watts each and very bright. My son installed the light and a dimmer switch. I assembled the fixture without the instructions because the instructions were very poor. The manner in which the 9 sets of wires have to be tied together is archaic and very challenging to do. The metal is very light and not much to the construction to be priced as high as it is. If I wasn't as thrilled with how the light looks, I would have been a lot less happy with how much it cost.
