WOW! I LUV IT
Looks great over our table. Easy to install, but it took two of us to do it. One to hold the light. The llight quality is just right.

Continues to Impress
We bought this lamp three years ago for our dining room. I would give it 5 stars, however, three years later I still remember it being a pain in the butt to install and get level. But, once we did, it looked beautiful. We always get great comments about it and the diffused light is wonderful. We have it on a dimmer, so that we can control how much light it puts out. I would definitely recommend this light!

Nice looking light, but a PAIN to install
Got this light for my daughter's room. It looks fantastic. BUT, I'll remember the install process for quite a while. The center mounting bolt in my light was far too short to reach the threaded bracket (about 3/4 inch too short). I ended up just using the outer plate screws to secure the mounting plate to the bracket sans the mounting bolt. Even that required some modifications to line up the screws with the holes.
Another point, I strongly suggest measuring your tension wire length carefully. If you pull it too far, there's no going back on the length.

design and price perfect
Simple, off-white fluted shade has frosted diffuser shade on bottom making this a well designed and wonderfully priced drum shade fixture.

Fun lamp, installation a pain
Once in place, the lamp looks cool. It doesn't give off nearly as much light as I would like. Installing it was a pain. I have installed multiple light fixtures from other retailers without issue. The vague instructions and difficulty of installation was unfortunate. After searching other reviews for help, and 2.5 hours of struggling, we finally got it in place. Looks cool!

Humongously Awesome
Guests never fail to comment on this striking piece. We have dark blue walls, and the giant white dome hovering above our dining table certainly makes a statement. Most assume it cost $600-800. " Get it. It's huge. and awesome.

Perfect for my space
When I brought home this pendant lamp, I was surprised at how LARGE it looked in my condo, but after we put it up over our dining table, it looked perfect. It is big enough to make a statement!! but clean and simple that it fits right in with the surroundings. We don't even notice that it is oversized anymore.

Love This Light
It's even better in person than you think it looks. Using the correct CFL light setup this lamp can get really, really bright!

Fantastic Statement
The scale and simplicity of this lamp made it a great addition to our foyer. Installation was a little tricky because of the size but we managed. We stuck a few small magnets on the metal bars on one side for leveling. Unlike other reviewers I find this lamp plenty bright, particularly with the max 150W incandescent bulb.

lives up to its name
this pendant is massive and works well in rooms that you might think are too small for it. easy to install, but i wouldn't remove the plastic shade wrap until after its up. we put ours in a 15 by 15 foot room, and hanged it about 14 inches from the ceiling, and it looks great.

huge!
I haven't installed it yet but as I will not get to for a while (it's going in our summer home) I'll write this before I forget. Shipping was prompt and packaging good. I had paced out the size of this lamp before ordering, and still was somehow surprised. It is HUGE! But beautiful. Giving it 4 stars only because I'm conservative and it's not installed yet, so I don't know how it will look and hang.

N.G.
We had high hopes for this lamp. It had 3 seams that were not evenly spaced and thus looked unsightly and off kilter. CB2 was however great about returning it and paying for the shipping to and from our house.

A Perfect fit!
I LOVE this lamp. I had been eyeing it for a while and am so glad it is finallly up in our home. It really improved our space!
The neutral color and pleats go well with the traditional aspects of our home, and the design matches the contemporary parts. The hugeness fills up a lot of empty space in our very open floorpan. I didn't have any bulbs even close to the suggested 150W, but the 60W bulb that's in there now looks fine. And the lamp looks amazing from every angle when it's lit. The diffuser really adds something special. Make sure to point the pleat to where it's not highly visible, though, it stands out when backlit, especially if you see it from a darker room.
Putting it up was a bit of a pain. If you pull the tension wire too far through the canopy, you really have to work it back out, which is kind of tough. Also, the holes in the canopy weren't at quite the right height, so we had to slightly loosen the mounting bracket from the ceiling, so it would hang lower, in order to get them to align, which resulted in a tiny gap between the ceiling and canopy.
Overall, I'm thrilled with the puchase. It looks fantastic, and I'm so glad we replaced the dinky chandelier that was hanging in the dining room before! Wish I could post a picture..

Excellent light fixture
So, I debated for 2 months whether to buy this, based partly on the extra shipping charges. Finally bought it and discovered that the cord wasn't long enough. Spoke to a handyman and an electrician and they walked me through the process. Got very frustrated as it took me a long time to get it installed correctly. The verdict? Totally WORTH IT! Installed over our new kitchen island and it complements the whole room. One can install on their own but be patient. Many electricians won't do this because it's such a small job so don't be afraid to work on it yourself.

Love this fixture.
This is a great pendant lamp. This is the second one that I have ordered and installed. You will need two people for optimum installation, but it is beautiful once it is installed and quite a dramatic effect.

Won't find a Light THIS good for THIS price
This light fixture is a steal. It's oversized and modern. After searching for months on line for a modern fixture of substantial size, I realized how affordable this light really was. You WILL NOT get a nearly 3' fixture that is this sheek for less than $200. And to top it off, it is quite large in person. I had no idea until the giant box arrived at my house. I highly recommend this light for a clean modern look at a remarkable deal.

mid century look & feel
We have this in our living room. It is perfect for the mid century feel of our home. We have lots of sunlight in this room, so the need for light during the day is minimal. In the evenings, the light is sufficient (not too bright). The outer covering is more ivory than it is white. Unlike most purchases, this light is larger than it appears to be on the site. We love it!!

oversized elegance
This oversized pendant was exactly what I wanted it to be...the pleated shade adds an extra attention to detail and makes this large pendant the perfect design piece to finish off a dining room, living room, or even bedroom. I do recommend having a professional hang this fixture for you, I tried to hang it myself, but the size makes it a bit awkward to handle on your own.
