Minka Lavery - Agilis - Chandelier 5 Light Brushed Nickel in Contemporary Style

I was looking for a clean, contemporary chandelier for my dining room that would fill, but not overwhelm the space and this has been an excellent choice! The chandelier does not hang as low as some, making it a good choice for rooms that do not have very high ceilings. The soft lighting is pretty and the brushed nickel looks great. The only surprise is that the glass has a shine to it (I thought it would be frosted, matte), but I still think it looks elegant and contemporary.

Takes 100 watt bulbs and I have a dimmer, so it is great to have lots of light when needed and turn lower for dining. This chandelier has a contemporary feeling. It is listed as "Asian theme" which would work well too, but I would call it Transitional/Contemporary, My home is a ranch with transitional furnishing.I also liked the black finish for that transitional feel. My actual dining area is small (10x11) but open to larger area, I chose this full size (25") chandelier, but also chose because lights are near the bottom of fixture so it could be hung quite high. It would have overwhelmed this small area if hung close to eye level. It makes the small area look larger. When I bought the house it had a small. three light chandelier which emphasized the small size of the dining area. Now it does not because larger chandelier incorporates surrounding area and illuminates larger ceiling area.
