I was looking thru all the lights with my daughter since she just bout a townhouse. The build put all nickel, generic finishes in and she wanted more updated bc elegant touches. She is partial to black with a hint of gold and this one was the perfect fit. Came in rather quickly and was packaged well. Not too much assembly and the gold finish was not outrageous. I was able to build and install with no problems. My daughter absolutely loves it it was the perfect light for her dining room. Recommend to purchase

This is a beautiful light fixture, but it is very large. I have put many things together in my life, but this is in my top few of the most complicated. It arrived without damage, and each piece was packaged in plastic. It took me over 45 minutes to unwrap the pieces and it took three people to assemble it. It requires one person to hold up the top of the fixture while one person assembled the gold bars and the third screwed the arms to the base and the top. It is beautiful, but plan on a few hours to assemble! Once the electrician hangs it the industrial back and gold finish will look great over my large dining room table.
