We purchased two of these chandeliers to accent our dining room and piano room, which are directly across an open foyer from each other. These simple, elegant statement pieces do not have chain hardware from the ceiling, which was high on our wish list. The design and color of these fixtures are simply beautiful. The "antique forged iron" is almost completely black, with very little burnishing. The down rod is adjustable. The eight candles provide quite a bit of light. The construction is solid, as you would expect from Feiss. This fixture could fit with a variety of decors.
We had the chandeliers professionally installed and connected each one to a dimmer switch. There were no problems at all.
