My husband and I really like it! We had it professionally installed...and we are glad we did. There are 72 strings of  crystals that we hung after it was installed. It was time consuming but not difficult. We were one bulb short, don't know if it got lost in packaging or what. We have a dimmer on it. It casts shadows on the ceiling and walls. It is truly beautiful and when turned on fully , it gives a lot of light.
