I bought two of these pendants for our kitchen area. I chose this one because of the style and one that I could use a 150 watt bulb with to give me plenty of light. I use a florescent bulb. The result is very satisfactory. It will be easy to keep clean; important in the kitchen. We hung them ourselves and had no problem.

I had it installed so I can't speak to the ease of installation. It's handsome and good quality. Be aware that the rod it hangs down on only comes in three specific lengths so you don't have a precise choice in the length you want. In my case it worked out fine. I like it.

Perfect over my table. Nice, clean lines. The finish goes really well with my stainless steel appliances. I was concerned about the availability of the type of bulb used, but it takes a common G-40 (globe) bulb which can be found in any hardware store(i.e Home Depot)
