LED is great for studying or pool table. not dining.Tried to install this beautiful light with Lutron dimmers and it is not dimmable. For the price point, I wish I could dim it. It looks nice and I like the wood grain, but I think this light would only work in an office or store setting because of the lack of a dimming feature.I hope this review was helpful to your shopping.this is my second light from this brand and the first one was not perfect (construction), I really, really like it and gave it 5 stars even with it's imperfections. This one is actually better made, or less imperfections than the first, it's just a gorgeous piece of lighting. So well made with an amazing finish.Comes with all the hard ware you need to hang it and hook it up. It even comes with push in wire nuts that have a level to remove the wire, very thought out. Just plug in your wires and it lights up.The first unit I loved because it was a soft or cloud light. if that makes sense. The light had a clouded piece of acrylic type material between the embedded LED lighting and the wood body. It was bright, but it was muted, so it did not bother you.With this unit, it is very bright, but the LED lights are out in the open, there is nothing to diffusive them. So it tends to be a very bright but kind of harsh lighting output. Two other people besides me in the house said the same thing. I think if it wasn't so bright or if it was dimmable, it wouldn't be so bad. It's just right in your face. Actually it's quite disappointing this is not dimmable in the first place.Just to be clear, this thing is very bright. If you are looking for something that puts out alot, this would be it.Of course our perceived harshness of the light is only our opinion. It might not bother others. Or, maybe if it was mounted high, it wouldn't be so bad.I am sad to take a star off, but I am just being honest. If it wasn't so harsh or it was at least dimmable, I would give it 5 stars+ all day long.If you are okay with the brightness, would recommend. It is a piece of art.I am reviewing the quality of this fixture before I was able to get it installed because it is going to take me some time to get my contractor here for installation and I wanted to share my thoughts about this pendant while I am waiting.It is pretty much true to the photos. It is solid walnut, and nice and smooth. However, it is a lot smaller in person than I was expecting. I suggest measuring out the 40" width and 3.5" height and maybe cutting out a piece of cardboard in that size or something to make sure it is large enough for your needs. In my case, it will be okay but I almost wish it was a tad larger.One of the things that attracted me to this fixture, besides the look, was that the electrical connection can be made almost anywhere under the 15.7" long base. Your electrical box doesn't need to be dead center or located in any specific place other than somewhere under the 15.7" base's location. See the installation video in the product listing. I needed this because I am having a half-wall taken down in my dining area soon and my existing light fixture's electrical box would be offset from where I need this new fixture to hang. This fixture's base allows me to keep the junction box where it is, off to the left side, and still center the fixture above my table once this wall is gone and my dining table is in its new position. Love it!I also like that the light is soft white (3000K) and that it can be hung on a sloped ceiling like I have. The length of the cabling is adjustable.I cannot wait to get this fixture installed! I wish the contractor I use wasn't so busy so I could get it installed right away. I will try to remember to take some photos when it is finally up!One of the coolest lights I have bought. Purchased for our new Airbnb for over the dining table. It is solid, yet light weight, easy to install and looks amazing. Could go with literally any decor from modern to farmhouse with no issues. Nice and bright too, good price, highly recommend.great items
