Was a bit concerned it would be "too much" over our kitchen sink but I must say, it's absolutely perfect. It puts out the perfect amount of light, the triple row of prisms are beautiful when the light is on or off, it's the perfect size for the 6' window over our kitchen sink, we just LOVE it! Although I wanted the silver choice, I ordered the bronze light per our decor and I believe that finish would be just as amazing. I do dread cleaning this when needed but, oh well, our homes need continual care and it's just part of it.
We also ordered the sister light w/ a single row of prisms for our breakfast room which is a pretty large room/great room area and it's perfect there. I believe it would work for a small seating area to a larger area, although I PERSONALLY don't believe it would work for a formal dining room.
Well packaged, well made, takes time to assemble it once it's hung, and so worth your time and effort. Finally, when installing, it will make your life easier if you begin installing the center row of prisms and work out.
