This light is perfect in my mid-century modern home. The previous light in my dining room was a hanging glass and brass nightmare in a relatively small space. This is the perfect size and style for the space. I bought Edison bulbs in the standard bulb shape and have the fixture on a dimmer--it's perfect. It is shipped with the spikes unattached, and you need to alternate between 2 lengths when assembling, but they screw in easily. This is a great way to ship and avoid bent spikes! Would definitely buy again.
