I wanted a chandelier to make my newly painted guess bedroom elegant. The ceiling is low so I count not get the traditional hanging chandelier. I found this one on Great Offer Stock, read the reviews and decided to take a chance. Really pretty, the crystals hang nice and I got my elegant look with a flush mount. The shade is thin vinyl strings with a silver tint, it gives the illusion of a thin gathered sheer fabric shade once up. My husband hung the light, didn't take much time, but he said they could have made it easier to mount! Over all I am very pleased and once again I'm back on Great Offer Stock looking for what I cannot find in the local stores to finish/add to my small makeover projects! You wont be disappointed with the look of this chandelier if you have a low ceiling. The room size I have it in is 15'x14' if that helps anyone. Thanks!
