Linea di Liara Allegro Drum Chandelier Dining Light Fixtures Ceiling Hanging Kitchen Pendant Light Fixture Dining Room Lights Over Table Brushed Nickel with Fabric Shade, UL Listed

Packaging: The fixture arrived double boxed and insulated with thin styrofoam between each box. The shades were packaged individually, boxed in cardboard to keep its shape. Overall, excellent packaging. Our mail service can be rough on packages and there's no way it could get damaged in shipment.Installation: It took approximately an hour for my husband to install. I helped at times because it did require a second set of hands to hold it he fixture up while the other person wired and screwed in the fixture at the top. the height is easily adjustable. We don't have high ceilings so we decided before hanging that we wanted it almost flushed to the ceiling. To do this, my husband trimmed the wires before beginning and did not use the chain at the end of installation. He is very handy but no expert by any means. He had a fairly easy time installing it. There was one step he had to do backwards though. When you get the screw in, the instructions are to put a nut in after inserting the screw (at the top of the fixture). He took off the flat plate, screwed in the bolt on the other side of the plate, and then screwed the plate back in. There wasn't enough room to get his fingers in the top to do it the way the instructions had mentioned. That was the only little hiccup.The design: It's absolutely beautiful! It's a five arm chrome fixture with crisp white shades. As mentioned above, it's adjustable with a silver metal chain (that we chose not to use because of our ceiling height.) The fixture uses chandelier bulbs rather than standard bulbs. In the space we installed it in, it is bright and let's off plenty of light. We hung it in our breakfast nook. It's an open concept space, opening up to the kitchen and family room.I don’t know about you, but I depend very heavily on reviews that are posted on Amazon, even if I am purchasing an item elsewhere, I read what the reviewers here have to say. I want to help others by providing my reviews that detail personal experience with the products that I buy on Amazon. I did receive this product at a discount for my honest review but would have bought at regular price too. We live in an older house and were desperately looking to upgrade this particular fixture and this deal happen to come at the right time. The style and size were exactly what we were looking at local stores. The original fixture it replaced was also 5 lights so that's how I roughly guessed on the size.

I looked online at a TON of lights. I even bought some other lights from another website and returned them they were cheap. These are awesome!!! They don’t feel cheap, they are sturdy, they go together easy, and they look so nice. I would buy these again and the price is great.

Planned to return fixture when our handyman no-showed for the 3rd time but loved the look so much decided to install it myself. I'm a 2 on the handy skilled scale (1 being not knowing how to install a light bulb and 5 being Bob Villa). Ive never installed a light fixture before and took me 2 hours to figure this out. The instructions are written for a 3 and above so I took the entire thing down 3 times because they didn't make sense, kept tinkering with it until I got it right. Looks great now! So happy I decided to try the install. Used over a four seater square table in the breakfast area. Modern, sophisticated, and goes well with our coastal decor. Three bulbs is way to bright for our taste so we are only using one at the moment. Note that the diffuser is located under the cardboard in the box. I almost threw it away because it looked like the box was empty. I only realized it when I picked up the box to throw it away and it felt heavier than an empty box should. I am not installing the diffuser because I don't want it to catch dust and insects. So I had to buy bulbs that look nice when looking up. Looks industrial without the diffuser, which I don't mind but some might.

I bought both the larger and the smaller versions of this fixture, to put in my entryway and over my dining table. Both of them look great. The look and finish are just what is pictured.They look like much more expensive fixtures than they are. And they both came very well packaged; everything was in perfect condition. I have since ordered a third lamp from this company and will recommend it to friends.

I looked at a ton of light fixtures online and I'm so happy I chose this one. It is in my home office, which I'm redoing to be more chic. The light looks beautiful, gives off a ton of light, and the diffuser bottom is nice so you don't see the bulbs. It suspends from the ceiling just the right amount. I love it.

Bought this for my master bedroom remodel. It looks incredible! Simple, elegant, yet modern. Have had several compliments on this. Took two people to get it adjusted (one to hold the parts together, one to tighten the nuts for the various parts. But, it's worth the effort to have something so lovely.

This light is a great addition to my kitchen

This is a nice unit and reasonably easy to install. However, It does not use standard base bulbs as shown, but the "candelabra" style bulbs with the smaller bases.
