Looks fabulous
February 22, 2013
We did a kitchen remodel and used these over a new island. They came with plenty of chain, unlike some others that you have to buy extra. We did use the old-fashioned bulbs with them as well and have gotten lots of compliments. I did look at the West Elm version, they were cheaper in price but also seemed to look a bit cheaper. Would recommend.

Awful...
February 5, 2013
I took the pendant out of the box and I fell in love... It was all downhill from there...
These pendants are a mess.
I would have returned them (I ordered two) but my husband threw out the boxes... The glass just stays foggy - unless washed frequently... and since the glass is clear in color - it is SO noticeable whenever they are not perfect - maybe its because I live in Florida and we have a lot of humidity, I really don't know, but I have to wash the glass every other week - its ridiculous. So since I can't return mine - maybe someone else will think twice before throwing out the boxes. Or at the least have your husband prepared to climb a ladder every other week to take the glass down for washing. lol.

Very simple and pretty
February 4, 2013
I have been looking for a light for my stairwell for a long time, and this one is perfect. Very simple and goes great with my decor. The color is a little more pewter looking than the picture.
I do agree with others that you need to wipe it down before hanging - we have fingerprints right on the top inside of the glass pendant that are hard to get off, but they aren't that noticeable.
Also, it made me nervous to read about it falling and shattering. I have two thoughts on that - one, you have to thread it on carefully and make sure it's tight. Two - be sure to use the correct wattage so it doesn't get too hot inside the pendant. We've had ours up for a month with no problems.
And as others said - get the edison bulb, it's looks great!

Perfect for my front hallway
November 14, 2012
I have an Italianate home from 1842, with a formal front hallway and winding staircase which makes quite a statement from the front door. I purchased two of the Calhoun Glass Pendant lights, one for the downstairs front hallway and the other for the upstairs second floor landing right above. I think the contrast of my home's dark wood, newel post, bannister and winding staircase and the Calhoun Pendants will be strikingly beautiful and surprising.

I loved this light at first
August 24, 2012
I actually got all the smudges off of it and it looked really nice for about 4 hours, then it fell and smashed all over the kitchen floor. Thankfully nobody was hurt. It was hard to screw on - it kept crossthreading - and when it was on straight, it didn't seem to go on very far. But since it was straight, my husband and I assumed it was on correctly. Then it fell and broke. Now we have a bare bulb in our kitchen, since we can't buy just the shade. It was an expensive 4 hours!

Thought I was in love...

I loved the light when I saw it online so I ordered it. I'm not so in love anymore. The glass is cloudy and has bubbles throughout. For something that is as large as it is and meant to be clear, it really needs to be better quality.

Pretty Bummed
May 7, 2012
Bought two for our bar. Less than a year later, one came unscrewed somehow and fell on our bar. Super bummed you have to purchase the entire light to replace just the globe. I will buy two completely different lights now ;( Loved the look while it lasted.

I received this as a gift and absolutely love it. It completes the room. I removed one star because it is difficult to clean but not impossible. Very unique.

I love the look of this pendant in my foyer but would not choose it if I could do it over. I don't see how it will be possible to keep the glass clean. I couldn't get the smudges off that were already there. Changing the light will be a pain as it is awkward to get that big glass globe unscrewed. I can just picture it breaking right away. The look is nice but other than that I am not at all pleased.

Fantastic Pendants... they make a real statement!
February 23, 2012
We installed 2 Calhoun Glass Pendants over our kitchen island. They're a little bigger then we imagined, but look fantastic and make a huge statement when you enter our large kitchen. The lights are very well made. When unpacking the lights, I was concerned that the glass bowls would break easily, but they are thick enough to relax my fears. Overall we couldn't be happier with our new kitchen pendant lights!

LOVE these fixtures!
December 8, 2011
I recently remodeled my living and dining rooms and I was looking for matching light fixtures that were classy yet simple AND affordable. I was very happy when I discovered the Calhoun Glass Pendant. It was EXACTLY what I was looking for, was very affordable (I bought 2 fixtures as well as the Edison bulbs), and easy to install. They look amazing.

Calhoun Glass Pendant
November 9, 2011
We ordered 2 of these to go over our kitchen island. Love, love the appearance! Two MAJOR issuers with them.....1 .How in the world do you get the glass globes clean and screwed on without marking them up?????? It's a complete bear. 2. What happens if I accidentally break the globe, the way the light is constructed, it will be next to impossible to find replacement globes......

Wonderful Pendant Light
August 31, 2011
We absolutely love this pendant lamp. I wanted something different for our dinning room and it couldn't take away from the view out of our French doors. The day we got it my guy hung it and it is perfect!
Thank you,

disappointing
July 15, 2011
This is a good looking light fixture; however, when you turn the light on, it reflects from the top & bottom of the fixture giving the appearance of 2 light bulbs in the fixture. Some people may find this interesting..I didn't like the way it looked & this happened regardless of the time of day. Wouldn't rexommend it.

Calhoun Pendant Light
June 20, 2011
We have purchased 6 of these for a large outdoor patio. They add nicely to the decor; are effective lighting; and have resulted in many compliments.
Our contractor found them easy to install. The globes are challenging to screw in to the fixture, but with care it can be done just fine.
No replacement globes are available at present, and the globes do not bounce well, so be sure someone with large hands is installing them.
