This chandelier was just what we were looking for, clean, bright, white somewhat modern but not over the top, and not too big.  It gives off the perfect amount of light over our kitchen table, we currently only have two bulbs in and it is just right for our not too big of a space. It is on a dimmer and we have had no problems.  I liked the adjustable stem since we have standard ceilings we could shorten it. The length was the shortest we could go, I think it is 12 inches.
