Big Bang Chandelier

I'm disappointed ! The panels in the past couple of years have begone to crack.. for the price this should not have happened ..

Fell in love with Foscarini's Big Bang chandelier, read reviews and tested the waters for ordering at YLiving. Fortunately, my call was answered by a most knowledgable and helpful gentleman named Blair, who knew more about the light and the difference between products ordered from over seas and those ordered from the states. My light was delivered quickly, the packing and product were superb. I would order from them again in a heartbeat!

First the plusses: The engineering is beautiful. The light distribution is uniform; it can be bright or romantic. The glow of the panels is mezmerizing. The light source is 90% hidden at all angles. The assembly is elementary. Now the minuses: The fixture does not hang parallel to the steel cables. The ceiling rose (the part that attaches to the ceiling electric box) has two steel cables that attach to the main part of the fixture. If you want the two to stay parallel with each other, you must twist the cable, and secure it some how. It took me four hours to do this, so it would hang over my table correctly. The diffusers have letters printed on them and some of them show. This is not acceptable for the money I spent. The fit of the diffusers is too loose and creates gaps between them. Other than that, if you are average, you will love it, but if you're discriminating, be warned!

We love it, it is a stand-out piece in any room. The price point was good.

I love the fixture but it took my electrical contractor 3 hours to install. He a had a difficult time getting the fixture to hang centered between the wires. It is it worth it - YES!
