I read other customers' review, they said it's a little dark. I guessed maybe I could bear with it. But when it's arrived, even I installed a 60w brightness max LED bulb, it's still very dark for my kitchen. It's unbelievably dark. I am so shocked and unhappy about it. Though the built quality is very good, solid metal and smooth paint. The design is good, but the idea is so bad, it does completely opposite for a lamp which supposed to do, which is lighting up the room. It blocks the light as much as possible for the design. They should make the pendant lamp with translucent material, then the light can reflect and bright up room. So disappointed. Because it's cheap and I don't want to pay the shipment, so I still keep it and my solution is adding a floor light in my kitchen, it's so unnecessary but I only can live with it with pains in my heart. Not recommend to everyone.
