DESIGNERS FOUNTAIN9039-NI Barcelona Chandelier, 9-Light, Black

First the light came USPS with the side of the box caved in yet the light fixture was undamaged as it's packed well.As I unpacked to check the pieces parts the yellow candle sticks stuck out. No way! Pics don't show yellow sticks.Now looking at 3 options. Contact the seller to see if white sticks are available, return or in my case I was lucky that 1990s brass fixture I was replacing had enough white sticks for this 6 light and the 9 light version for the dining room.You can buy the white sticks on Amazon @ $10/dz. But I've never seen yellow sticks.Second issue was arranging the 6 spokes. They come folded together 3 on a side. After unfolding them in 6 spokes I had to remove the top cover, loosen all the spokes then twist the top so the spokes would align vertically.Chain is painted so use tools that are plastic coated to open and close a link or best solution is to buy black quick connect links.Overall the quality is good and the boss is happy with the product. Finish is truly wrought iron not bronze which is what we wanted. We also bought the 9 candle version for the dining room. It needed no adjustment. Know that it isn't really wrought iron as well.

So much of what you buy now turns out to be pretty in the picture, but cheap crap when you receive it. Not this chandelier. It's gorgeous, solid and appears to be very well put together! The finish is satin black and has no scratches, dings, dents or mars of any kind. I am planning to paint the candlesticks because the color is a weird choice, but I knew that before I bought it and it will be easy to spray paint them white. Hanging in our dining room, it looks like a very expensive and elegant light fixture and is a focal point without being too overpowering. I put incandescent 60 watt bulbs in and when I dim the lights, they look very similar to candle flames, yet produce enough light to create just the right ambience. I'm very satisfied with this purchase!

I ordered a pair of these for my entry way to replace some dated sconces. Unfortunately the first two did not match as there were some differences in the scrollwork. There was also a delay in receiving that second sconce. However, replacement sconce was received quickly and is a match. I really like the rustic look of these sconces, but was a bit disappointed in the construction. It was difficult to get the “candles” straight in the fixture and they are not as sturdy as other similar fixtures I have owned. This is the main reason I only gave 3 stars. I did add the glass globes to soften the look; a lucky thrift store find!

PROS: GOOD Quality product, NOT cheap quality, great price. Looks wonderfulCONS: Product was poorly packaged and arrived bent (round plates at the base of a light). Light covers are very YELLOW (not off-white as shown in the picture).If you want to mount the fixture using a downrod, get Home Depot model 842240

I was a little hesitant because of two other reviews stating that they received damaged items, but I'm quite pleased with the chandelier that I received. Packaging was good. The chandelier actually folds up, so it is shipped in a box that's not as wide as you'd think. Installation was similar to that of other light fixtures that I've put up. I do recommend having an extra hand when you install, though I did install mine alone. I compared this to others that had a similar design, and this was definitely the best value. The "candles" are somewhat yellower than they appear in the picture. By the way, 9 60-watt bulbs are very bright! I installed a dimmer switch to tone them down a bit - though I do like having the option of turning them to full brightness if I need the light. I did want to use LEDs, but they are both expensive and ugly, so I'm going with incandescents for now.

Beautiful addition to our entryway ! Quality piece .. well made … chain was too short and had to buy a separate longer one … really happy with it !

Very nice chandelier..it looks great in my entryway I. Front of my new front door

It is small and not as grand as it appears in the picture.
