Alhambre Tiffany-Style Pendant Chandelier
This is a beautiful piece - in online photos and hanging in my dining room. However, I'm a little baffled at the other reviews that give it such high marks. I ordered this light about a month ago, and when I received it and opened the box, one of the attachments inside the glass shade where the chain attaches was broken off and floating in the box. I sent the whole fixture back and was sent a replacement, and this one arrived intact.
The problem with the light is with the construction of the shade. There are approximately 25-30 "ribs" of metal with glass inserts on the outside of the main part of the shade, part of which make this lamp so interesting. However, no matter how gentle you are with installation, it's very easy to snap one of these off, which is exactly what happened to me, despite being extremely careful and gentle. There are explicit instructions about how to remove the shade from the packing so this doesn't happen, and common sense would have you NOT pick up by these ribs, and I did not. Nevertheless, one snapped and is barely hanging on (photos included).
The other issue I have is that it cannot be hung as a flush mount, which I assumed was what I was getting. There is a ceiling mount and chain to attach to the hanging light (this is shown in one of three photos online), but I was hoping to do a flush mount without using chain. This is not possible, and despite cutting off most of the chain, it just wasn't what I was hoping for.
Dealing with LampsPlus.com was easy, and they were very good about expediting a replacement lamp. However, this lamp cost over $500 with shipping, and I'm disappointed with its flimsiness and the inability to do a flush mount installation without chain. Would I buy it again? I don't think so, even though it is a very pretty (though now flawed) light in my dining room.
Photos are included to show how/where mine broke.

Beautiful hanging light fixture
This light is beautifully made and looks far more expensive than it is.
The light it gives off is wonderful and it has a very architectural look and feel.

Top Notch too!
We bought this chandelier to go in a dining room that is positioned within eye sight of our living room, where we had already bought the matching table lamp. These are quality fixtures, and well worth the money. The colors are rich, but still provide enough pure soft lighting to amply illuminate the room. The fixtures are heavy duty, substantial pieces. Part of our incentive to buy the chandelier was our good experience with the table lamp. It is rock solid, heavy, and beautiful. The same goes with our chandelier. When equiped with 4 75 watt bright light CFL bulbs, the light cast by the creamy panels is just toned down enough to be pleasant, but still bright enough to illuminate our burgundy colored dining room. I would definitely rebuy this item.
Pros: Great Illumination, Quality Construction, Easy To Hang, Attractive Design
Best Uses: Small Rooms, Decoration, Primary Light Source

This is a unique, beautiful fixture.
It's a rather unusual light fixture and my guests always comment about it, where did I buy it, etc. . .
