I very much liked the style, color and quality of this light. We have not yet been able to turn it on because the house is still under construction and the electrical has not been turned on, but it looks just beautiful over the kitchen island. The glass pieces are very thick and the color is perfect for the old candle look. There are lots of pot hooks on this light so there should be no problem with that. I am also waiting for the matching chandelier for the nook to come in, and am very excited to see it now that we see how beautiful the island one is. The matching pendants are also very nice.
