The pros: It's a beautiful design, the finish is gorgeous, it was easy to install, and the ceiling plate is as shown (*another reviewer got something different, so I was worried and would have returned.)
The cons: The threads on the globes *almost* line up to the fixture, so you have to be very slow and ginger when screwing them on. Two of the 16 got stuck so badly it wound up unscrewing part of the fixture. It was fixable and not a dealbreaker, but could be improved. ALSO why oh why oh why do they put those stickers that leave annoying residue on EVERY ARM? We get it. There's a 7 watt max. I think most people are smart enough to know that applies to each and every arm. Nitpicky and I will be able to get it off with tea tree oil but with sixteen arms it's still annoying.
The disclaimers: In one photo it looks like two of the bulbs are dimmer than the others, but in reality they are not. (I used 4W bulbs and this thing could blind you!) Also the paint around the plate still needs to be touched up (not the fixture's fault!), and this is going over a dining table (which is why it is so low). Will update pix when we move in and it's furnished. :)
Overall would recommend and purchase again.
