I love the shape of it. However, the red is much more orangy and bright than the photos. The photos make the red look deeper

If you are looking for a piece of art to be suspended from your dinning room ceiling, then look no further. These lights are absolutely stunning and make a room! Given the unique architecture of my home they were a perfect find!

I love the way it looks. Wish it could be a bit brighter, but I am pleased

The price point seems high until Big Bang is installed and then -- WOW! It is truly transformative. I cannot stop staring at it so I figure I'm making back the cost by never leaving the house to spend money.

Installation was effortless. I especially appreciated the miles of cable as BB hangs from our 25-ft living room ceiling.

I am waiting for the electrician to come over, put it together and hang it. Only then can I give an informed opinion on this good looking , at least in the photograph, light fixture. Maybe when it's assembled it will be a five star rating.

bought this after seeing the red version in a model condo unit and i would say that the white version is every bit as beautiful. a bit expensive--set up took 2 hours without any major complications. overall, very happy with the purchase and y-lighting.

While this was not the right color red it was also not the quality of material we had hoped for our dining room - we are returning it

Looks like a sculpture hanging in my dining room. my kids are taking a while to get used to it, but it makes a really neat statement without overpowering the room. the bulb was very very difficult to get in.

Bold, geometric piece with modern kick. The large scale is perfect for the oversized kitchen island, given it's cleanability it's a perfect kitchen fixture. Great juxtaposition for a traditional dining room; versatile, bold, it will be received as art.

Not as easily assembled as described, but worth the challenge.

We ordered a pair of these fixtures to light a large, cubic space bisected by a timber beam. They are handsome sculptures when off, and provide a significant amount of well-diffused light at night. Their multi-dimensional form provides interest to the eye from many angles, and each seems unique even when paired. In white, they are a presence against the white ceiling without being a distraction from the rest of the space.

Although forewarned about tricky cable balancing, the fixtures went up quickly and easily in the hands of a professional electrician. Miles of cable supplied makes installation from a high ceiling possible. Bulbs are not found everywhere. Fixture quality is pristine, and the coding on the translucent vanes is very subtle. It is needed to reassemble after bulb replacement (And the instructions are long gone!). Packaging is not good enough for the fixture cost- the main frame was slightly bent in one of two, but easily straightened ad no harm done.

Overall the fixtures provide a unique statement that can really set off a space. The materials are costly, but the effect is worthwhile.

this product is really sculpture.. beautiful. This was a "splurge" for our new condo but it is worth every penny. Transforms a room...

This is certainly a conversation piece. It hangs over my dining table, and I couldn't be happier. The Big Bang looks amazing!

To the previous reviewers: you can get it to hang parallel to the cable my simple adjusting the point at which the cable attaches to the bulb housing. Once the steel cables level-out, you simply need to slide one attachment point slightly. I was fiddling with the cable and really eschewing the alignment until I figured this out.

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!

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

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!
