New Ventura 3-light Rectangular Chandelier

When I saw this lamp a few months ago, the description said it was 72 inches long (exactly what I needed) and the color in the description was white. But the lamp was in back order, so I waited until it was back in stock... after months of wait, I received an e-mail and made the decision. I ordered my lamp expecting a white, (like the picture) long rectangular lamp, and received a rather *BEIGE/GOLD* still rectangular, but 42 inches short lamp. After a while, I kept it and It looks okay after installed. I suggest you hire an electrician to install. It requires at least two people to do the job.

I read a lot of reviews before purchasing this light, opting to go out on a limb regarding the color and quality of the light because the price was right. I am writing this review on 1/24/2015. I am a 34 year old female and I installed the light myself in my Chicago condo. I have no experience with electrical work, this was my first time installing a light by myself (with my Dad helping me on FaceTime, haha). Here's what I found: 1) The lamp shade is not white as the picture suggests or as the other reviewers commented. It is a burlap color but with bright light bulbs it appears as a very warm and inviting color and goes well with a white, black, and grey kitchen as mine is. 2) The entire chandelier, assembled, weighs 18lbs. It is VERY heavy! This is a 2-man install. It requires 1 person to hold the lamp while the other person connects the wires. 3) Although very heavy, this chandelier does NOT require extra screws or support to hold it flush against the ceiling. I do suggest using pliers to very tightly secure the two screws that attach the black frame to the mounting bracket. In doing this, the black frame will snug up nice and flush against your ceiling, assuming your ceiling is flat. 4) With three 150 watt warm white lights this chandelier throws A LOT of light, dramatically increasing the brightness of my kitchen. 5) The edges of the shade on my lamp are glued down but they are glued down flat and securely. It was not falling apart when I opened the box. Although it does not appear to be a $1,000 quality chandelier, it is still very nice quality for the money and has received a lot of compliments from my friends and neighbors.

We are returning our New Ventura. When we opened the box we found the color to look more like burlap than what we were expecting. The material looked cheap and clashed with everything in our room. I can't comment as to the quality of the product in use because we never put it up. It was clear to us that we'll need a different light.

We are satisfied and pleased with purchase. Only problem with installation was due to the heaviness of the fixture, we had to make sure with extra reinforcement to ceiling that fixture would remain secure.

The qualtiy of this lamp is bad .. material is glued on and it is very uneven. You will have to take a razor to the whole thing to even it up as it really shows. You can see the black hardware through the large undermounted glass. It arrived very dirty .. not sure how I'm going to wash this yet. A true description of the fabric would be helpful at this point (i.e., "cotton",etc.) You do get what you pay for. I was in love with the style .. sells for 4x this price on another website. Can't affort the nice one ..so I got this one. If you don't mind putting some work into it, you will like it. Don't expect it to be perfect though.

the description stated that it was 72 inches long... that seemed unrealistically long.. but i needed that size. it arrived at a little over 3 feet. i was extremely dissappointed and they gave me a tiny refund and offered to take it back. the fixture is exactly what i thought it would be.... an understated pretty shade with black hardware. short and sweet. exactly what i wanted. very good looking.

I bought this light fixture for my new dining room. I wanted something contemporary and understated yet elegant. This light is contemporary and very understated however I think it's too informal for a dining room. It's fine but I'm not in love with it. I would have preferred it be a little more sophisticated. My handyman who installed it said it would be ideal to hang over a pool table. I couldn't agree more and when I buy one someday this light will definitely hang over it. It hangs slightly lopsided too despite numerous attempts to straighten it out. The plastic under piece that hides the light bulbs also doesn't fit perfectly so there are gaps. I'm not thrilled with the light but decided to keep it anyway. Think twice before purchasing if simple elegance is what you're searching for. It's simple but not elegant.

When I first received this item the shade was VERY dirty. I called overstock that day and they promptly sent out another shade. I put the shade up and it looked great except for the bottom rings didn't match so it hung crooked. I called overstock again and they sent out new rings. Despite the issues with parts I love the light. The shade looks white until the light is on. Once the light is on it looks beige, which is true to the description. The bottom covering for the light is glass so it has some good weight to it. I am using it in my dining room over a rectangular table and it looks great. The only reason it didn't get 5 stars is because the plate that is mounted to the ceiling isn't designed very well. We needed extra tools to make it flush.

We ordered this for our new home and it looks amazing! No one can believe the low price we paid for it, considering many similar fixtures cost several hundred dollars more. The ceiling in our dining room is high and slanted, so we had it installed professionally. The chain at the top allows for adjustment so the fixture hangs level to the floor, even though the ceiling is angled. The size of this light is huge, but it's the perfect size to make a statement over a rectangular table. The quality isn't a 10/10 but for the price it was better than expected. You can't pay ** for a large fixture like this and expect it to be perfect but it was close enough. The only flaw we noticed was that the fabric part of the shade was applied so that the edges showed when the light was on... It was an easy fix after I just tucked in the edges with my nail. Looks perfect now!

I like the light, and had bought the matching round/barrel light to match. Problem is the rectangular light kept coming in a bright white that did not match the round light. The round ventura light description matched the rectangular ventura light. The description was way off. It said creamy beige hardback shade, well I got the bright white one (dove colored) four seperate times. Went as far to have them open the box before they sent it to me and they do not have any of the creamy beighe hardback shade ones.......Did I say I sent it back four times, huge hassle that had I known in the bbegininng would not of bought the lights. I ended up returning the barrel ventura light and purchasing a different "white" barrell light to match the rectangular one. They do not match perfectly and it was a HUGE hassle returning all these lights. I will say that overstock did everything they possibly could to help me get the right light, it was just impossible........

It's definitely a light khaki/canvas color, not white or cream/ivory but I had read the reviews and was expecting that and that's what I wanted. Very expensive looking light!

Chandelier is completely different color than the image online. It is actually more of a burlap or khaki color so don't purchase it and expect it to look ivory or white. Light looks good from far away once it's hung up but you can see some glued spots through the fabric when it's lit up and glass plate on bottom doesn't fit perfectly. Multiple rods are included that allow you to adjust height easily.

This is the ceiling lamp if you want a modern look in your dinning room. It is modern and simple. If you look for an elegant look, this is not the right light fixture.

Easy installation over my pool table and looks great. So many people have said that they absolutely could not believe that it is was not a high priced item.

We bought this light 2 years ago. It took Overstock two tries but they finally got me all the pieces. The shade is more of an off-white and now it’s a little more yellow. But for the price it’s a great chandelier for the price. The metal is black.

I liked this light so much that I bought it twice for two different dining rooms. One in my old home and one for my new home. The compliments keep coming! It's beautiful especially when you put it on a dimmer switch. Just gorgeous with my very simple fairly dark dining room furniture.

The shade one side had some stitching problems that you don't notice until the light is actually assembled and in use. At that point it wasn't worth it to have the electrician take it down and do a return. Nice product

This is a fantastic elegant contemporary lighting piece. I use it in my dining room and people cannot day enough how beautiful it is. Would highly recommend it to friends.

This fixture looks very nice in our dining room. We always receive compliments on the fixture. The shade is a light khaki/canvas color, not white or cream/ivory. The picture on line is not accurate for color. Overall I happy with this purchase.

Beautiful light - we used this in our dining room and first light came to us damaged and overstock sent another one right over to replace it at no charge. Great customer service and it looks amazing in our dining room!

Classic, affordable, and beautiful. It’s perfect over our dining table. The neutral color matches everything and it’s size and shape add an interesting focal point without being “too weighty”.

this was a meh, not quite what we were looking for but serves a purpose. Just feels too overwhelming even tho the space we have it in is huge.

This was a nice light in a previous home that created a sleek, but modern touch to an informal dining area. The first one was broken, but the return/replacement was pretty seamless.
