This is a conversation piece. We put this up at our beach house. We only had 8 ft ceilings in the dining area so sizing a chandelier to not look too dinky or take up too much visual space was a challenge. This beautiful fixture was exactly what the room needed. It definitely has scale to it but the design doesn't really block the room visually. Cons: this arrives in a 4 ft by 4 ft box. We were transporting from home to the beach and had to borrow a truck to get it down there. It wouldn't come close to fitting in a Yukon XL. The oyster shells are just glued on so you do have to watch out for shells falling off. It comes with extra shells and they are thickly applied so you don't really notice a few falling off. Overall, definitely a WOW factor.

Absolutely gorgeous!!!! So many compliments, could not be happier!!!
