This fixture was the first purchase we made for our new home during the process of building. It was then one of the first items we put up in the house when nearing completion. It made the dinning room. It is the first thing you see when entering the house. We have had so many compliments on it and have had 2 families in our neighborhood purchase it after seeing ours. So if you are thinking about it just go ahead and do it! It is good quality and the wood has substance to it. We purchased Edison bulbs to put in our fixture but make sure the wattage is high enough to light up the room. We made the mistake of not paying attention to that, so we had to purchase another set. We bought this fixture when it was on sale so keep checking back if it is full price you can get a great price on it if you aren't in a hurry for it.
