We loved the look of the fixture and put it up. it wasn't until we tried to put the shades and the bulbs in that we discovered that one shade is crooked and the ceramic piece that the bulb screws into has a minor crack. therefore, we have to be extremely careful when screwing in a bulb as the ceramic piece starts to crumble as we do so.

also, a regular bulb hangs down below the shades. i made a trip to the store and ended up buying 5 40 watt clear bulbs that are short. the 200 watts are more than enough and the bulbs do not hang below the shade.

it might have been helpful to have included a bulb recommendation with this ad.

overall we are pleased with the fixture, the speed of delivery and the ease in ordering..

My Golden Lighting Homestead Five-Light Chandelier arrived so quickly, and my husband hung it immediately in my eating area. It is a very beautiful fixture and very expensive looking. The tea-colored globes are so pretty, too. The only drawback is if you use 60 watt blubs which are recommended, the bulb hangs out under the globe. We brought five 40 watt blubs for the fixture, and this size works much better giving out plenty of light, too. I also brought an island light and four light bathroom light in this same Homestead pattern. I know I am going to like them just as much as I do this chandelier. If you are in doubt, go for it. You will love this light. It am delighted with my purchase.

I ordered this Golding Lighting Homestead five light chandelier and received in a just a few days. I am delighted with my purchase. It is even nicer and prettier than the picture shows. The only drawback is a 60 watt bulb hangs out of the globe a little that I didn't think was very attractive. So instead of using 60 watt bulbs I used 40 watt which with five lights still gives plenty of bright light. If you are on the fence about purchasing this chandelier go for it. It is well-made and looks much more expensive than it is. Alsp, the tea colored globes are very, very pretty. I liked this light so much I have also ordered a four light bathroom light and island light to match this one.

Love this fixture-replaces a shiney brass fixture similar to this one. Have received several compliments from friends on my choice of this fixture.
