Kichler Lighting Winslow 8 - Light Chandelier in Olde Bronze

Pendants have single stranded wires with a braided strain relief coming out of the light fixture. Those two braids add so much material. It doesn’t fit within the tube and the braid gets ripped as you try to put the down tube on. The five light chandelier was the first one I attempted to install. You have to connect the chain to the screw collar loop. They don’t give you any tools of instructions on how to do that. I watch the video and in one frame you see the loop and in the next frame, you see the chain attached with no explanation. The instructions in the video do not show you how to attach the chain. They should’ve had a quick link. I called for help and they said you have to open the end link on the chain and then close it. I’m reasonably strong and I could not open the links so I went to Home Depot and bought some quick links. Interestingly, on the three light chandelier that I purchased for the entry, it didn’t come with quick links, but it came with two separate links that were pre-opened that would make it easier to attach the chain. But they didn’t provide those in the five light chandelier. And a quick link is still a better option. Home Depot sells stainless in the store, but through their Internet you can get a black set of 10 which come reasonably close to matching the bronze color. On a canopy that came with one of the pendants it was actually missing a threaded nipple. I ordered four pendants three of them came correctly and one of them is missing the nipple so I can’t attach the down tube. The instructions that come with all of the lighting fixtures I bought are terrible. They have a little exploded diagram showing all the parts. The emphasis is on Little. The diagram is so small you can’t tell exactly what each of the smaller parts are. And some of the parts that are in the blow up diagram, I went looking for, only to find they were already assembled at the factory. They could do a much better job, clarifying the instructions and providing a much clearer exploded image of the lighting fixture Final comment. When they’re fully installed, they look really nice.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We installed this light fixture in our dining room and are very pleased with it. It provides a ton of light with the 8 bulbs and looks great. Install was a breeze with several rods included to adjust it to the appropriate height for room. The only slight issue we had is that one of the bases that holds the bulb was a little askew probably from packaging, but we were able to carefully bend it slightly enough so that the light was level with the others. Overall though, I would definitely recommend this light fixture for someone looking for a slightly more contemporary look that puts out a ton of light.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This chandelier makes a bold statement over my kitchen table. It's beautiful and fits seamlessly with my farmhouse style. The quality is excellent and it provides plenty of light. I am very happy with it.
