We are replacing two lighting fixtures in our kitchen. We already purchased a fan fixture & were looking for complementary lighting for over the kitchen table. I found this style in a different brand but the specs were too large for the space. After doing some homework, I found the Yosemite Sequoia which was similar to the fixture I liked & looked as if it would fit nicely in the space. Amazon had the lowest price for the item (which made me a little suspicious) but I was willing to give it a buy. The item shipped immediately and was the last one available for quick delivery. First, the item ships in it's original box which was slightly damaged during transit. Overall, the lamp survived the trip. Second, there were minor imperfections or scratches in several areas of the metal & the edge of the glass was slightly rough. The glass bowl had a bit more swirl than I expected. Third and most important is that the wattage was supposed to be for three 100 watt bulbs but the lamp came with three 60 watt bulbs. We were specifically looking for 100 watt bulb fixtures since we already have a light dimmer installed. If it was up to me the light fixture would be going back (and it still might...) The electrician has already been called to install both fixtures so it's a corundrum whether to keep the pendant light as is, return it to Amazon & get a replacement with 100 watt capacity as advertised (and waiting 2-4 weeks for delivery & possible more frustration if another 60 watt fixture is sent out), or order it elsewhere for more $$$, quicker shipping and possibly better quality control (if it exists...)
The box is damaged enough that I would have to find another box to return the light in, not to mention pay for return shipping. Otherwise, the lamp is attractive and I would buy it againjust maybe not at Amazon (low price vs quality control..).
