This fixture is absolutely gorgeous. Looks exactly like the photos. Very sturdy and well built. Installation is a two-person job, but very straight forward. I'm thrilled with this purchase. Also, the description says the fixture is "fixed height", but it is actually adjustable. The metal rods are in two sections, and one of them can be removed in order to hang the lights higher if so desired. That's what I did in order to maintain more clearance between the lights and my kitchen counter.
