Great fixture for a center piece, yet it does not obstruct views. There are adjustments for the angles of the bars, so each fixture will be unique. The glass balls w/ glass fibers inside are very delicate, but contribute to the starry effect. Make sure to use a dimmer control, since 20 watts at 16 halogen bulbs will equal incredible amount of output and energy usage. We love this fixture, but we wish there is a more energy efficient alternative, beyond dimmer control. Even our contractor and his subs are mesmerized by it.

Looks great! I had no trouble at all putting it together and installing it... due to my great contractor doing a awsome job! thanks

This chandelier is dramatic and beautiful. The picture doesn't do it justice, and can't show how unique the bulbs are and what a nice quality of light comes from them. We replaced a plain flush ceiling light on a landing with this, and it greatly improved the area. Everyone who sees it remarks on how beautiful it is. We had an electrician install it, so don't know about instructions and assembly.
