Very beautiful, it projects so much light, very bright, but not overly bright. I love it and it looks very elegant, brings a nice touch of class to my kitchen. It took about an hour & change for the electrician I hired to mount it & also hang the crystal's. He had no problems, the crystals was time consuming, but he didn't complain. I'm 6 feet so I won't stand directly under it because I can literally feel the heat of the bulbs because the light rays are that powerful, lol! I should have gotten a flush mount because of my height, but I have no regrets, it's beautiful.
