I love this chandelier! It really updated my traditional dining room. I have only one complaint -- where two of the arms are soldered to the body of the chandelier --they are not perfectly straight. And because they are soldered, they can't be straightened. They are just a little off but I do notice it. I still gave this a 5 rating because otherwise it's perfect. The glass shades are beautiful and different from fabric ones so they look more contemporary. Because there are so many lights on this chandelier and i have dimmers --the lighting can be super bright or intimate.
