We will be installing the lighting this weekend, but so far, it looks like it's going to be great for where I want to use it. We will be placing it over a portion of our kitchen counter that is very dark and has lots of shadows after losing daylight from the window. I've tried several options that just haven't panned out, so I think the ability to rotate and aim each light in different directions will really brighten up the area of our kitchen. I will update the post once installed. It has a very nice matte gold finish like all the other gold accents in our kitchen and it's very lightweight. Can't wait to get it installed and lit up!
