Lovely bowl pendant gives off lots of light in a dark area. It took a few hours to assemble, but once put up, it is very elegant and contemporary looking. We only put in 60 watt light bulbs, but it can hold 100 watts if you want light to be brighter. Also got the matching mini pendants for food bar, they are awesome as well. I really like the Ibsen style, can't wait to purchase the hallway/bedroom lighting next. Products came well packaged.
