I’d rather give 3.5 stars based on my opinions.
Purchased this light to dress up the dining room during a kitchen overhaul. Very heavy when fully assembled, so make sure you mount correctly or hit a rafter in the ceiling with one of the 4 mounting screws. The two screws to the receptacle box won’t cut it alone for support, so be forewarned. Installation was easy, unless you have no experience at all with light fixtures.
The hanging hook used to support during install causes it to twist off center which doesn’t help when you’re trying to adjust the height of each pendant, but it’s manageable. Instructions call for I think a 1/4” bit for the anchors but I had to use 5/16” and they were still very snug to hammer in. I checked all LEDs and circut boards and found at least one heat sink was cut on an angle which caused the LEDs to be angled 20 degrees to the side. I shimmed the LED board with a washer to level it up and was satisfied then. Most of the heat sink blades were very thin or cracked at the edges due to being bent; likely probably during product assembly at the factory, not as a result of manufacturer shipment. The bubble glass mounting screws protrude into the heat sink housing and were likely the culprit. Not knowing how hot these LEDs got, I ended up straightening them all and wondered if there should have been heat transfer compound on them. After leaving the light on for 4-5 hours theres not much heat at all coming from the top of each housing. Looks better installed than just in the box. Would have expected a little better quality on the internal components/assembly for a $165 light fixture though, but it looks great!

Great Light
The light was easy to put together but takes some time and patience. I would suggest the purchase of some nitrile gloves when handling any parts. The reason is it has a lot of glass and i can see where it may be a pain to clean up finger prints after assembly. The light looks awesome and the tubes are larger then i thought they would be. I premeasured the lengths before hangin it up which worked out well. The kit even comes with a chain to hang the crown unit so it can be wired with no problem. Also, it comes with a generous amount of electrical wire as well as a heavier gauge rather than the usual junk. All in all we are very pleased with it and I’d recommend it! All the parts were included and had no problems in that area. For the price you can’t go wrong.

The light is excellent and looks beautiful to me. it was very easy to hang I am a single woman and I hung it up myself ,the hardest part of hanging it was had to put the lights & gloves together in order to adjust the length of each strand was kind of heavy but it wasn't too bad I was able to do it.

Everything about this light is amazing! It looks so much better than I was expecting. In the store the light was very white so I was hesitant. All the photos online show a nice warm light and it is! I paired it with a Lutron Caseta dimmer so Alexa can control it. Works great. The inside bubble cylinders are solid glass (I thought they would be plastic) except for the bubbles. It was packed really well and nothing was damaged in shipping. Easiest light I've ever installed!!! Because of the weight, I thought it would be hard for even two people. It's designed so that one person can easily install it. It comes with a clip so you can hang it while connecting the wires. Never seen than before, except for ceiling fans. Also, all of the glass is attached after the metal parts are secured to the ceiling. Finally, you can make minor adjustments to the length of each pendant AFTER it is already installed. Whoever is responsible for this really thought it through and I was pleasantly surprised. :) I also was concerned that the bubbles and the long cylinders would cause a weird light pattern. Not the case at all. It seems to light up the entire table equally.

Awesome!
We love them! We bought them for our new house, they provide the perfect about of light over our kitchen island. We have three of them and if it's 3am, or 3pm, the amount of light is perfect! Plus, they look great in a new home, or an old home if we still had ours. Clean look, and we've received compliments!

It's great ... for four years
This is one of the coolest light fixtures that I have ever installed. I love it! We had it over our dining room table and loved that it was dimmable so we could create whatever mood we wanted. It was all great until the LEDs started to die after about three years of ownership. Then, one by one, all four lights died within about four years of installation. Now, it looks great during the day but as the light goes down, it's worthless.
We will be replacing the entire fixture, which seems like a real waste. Believe me when I say that I will check to see if I can replace dead lights before buying another light for over our dining room table!

The pendant light is not the best color and brightness (see picture) not the best look because of it. The worst part of the pendant is the quality of finish related of the chrome plate and the connecting bolts being too short. During the unit installation, I don't know who designs it (maybe a 3 year old) I came across to the next problem. The 2 bolts are so short that I had to arm wrestle and barely squeeze the nuts after numerous tries (and I'm very handy with installations). Please make the bolts 1/8 longer so people won't struggle with it.

Wow! Did not expect to find anything this cool and on-trend at my local Home Depot. It's over my kitchen island and really steals the show. Lots of compliments. Not too bad to install; getting all the cables the same length took the most time. And it's pretty heavy; those glass tubes are substantial. A fabulous light, you'll love it!!

The lighting piece caught my eye as soon as I seen it in the store. However I doubted how it would look in my remodeled kitchen. After installing it, boy was I wrong! I have no regrets! It’s absolutely beautiful! The lighting is perfect and so calming. Looks elegant and classy! Definitely modern and so unique. We get so many compliments :)

Love it
We were at first scared to buy cause of our ceiling. We got it and so happy we did. It was easy to install and once everything was done, we loved it. Strings are so easy to adjust so no need to worry about it and it has enough light.

led might be different if by other lights
Easy install. Looks wonderful but the problem is is if you have it up against another light it'll show this led as a yellow Hue color my other light fixture in the picture is a bright white so when you zoom in you can kind of see that the light color is more of a yellow in this fixture so if you're putting it up against another light bulb make sure you got the same type.
