Kichler Marita Brushed Nickel Lighting Collection

Beautiful - lacks quality control

After having read many of the reviews here and seeing the pics of how uneven the light can hang due to bent drum frame, varying weights of glass pieces, etc., I set up my own quality control station before attempting the install. I used a level to see how the light hangs (crooked on two of the three drum spokes) and then bent until level on top and bottom around the drum, and ncluding the candelabra lights. I also weighed each of the 3 glass pieces...they were off a few ounces from each other....

Really pretty but flimsy

The metal on this fixture bends really easily. It didn’t get banged up from the time it came out of the box to the time it was hung, but the metal is so cheap that the frames that hold the glass were arching and it was very apparent. Also, it looked like the light itself was listing to one side. Took about 15-20 minutes of bending it back into shape (again, cheap metal so I was able to do it by hand). It’s a really pretty fixture and I love the way the light is softened by the glass, but I’d...

Poorly made, welded together crooked

We loved the look of this light in the store. It was packaged nicely, however once we looked at the frame, it appeared to be crooked. We decided to try hanging it and sure enough, it was glaringly obvious that the frame was not welded together correct. One side was 7 inches wide, the other side was over 7.5 inches wide. 3 of the 5 lights inside were also crooked and unable to be bent back in place (the other 2 lights were perfectly vertical). Very disappointed.

Great Pendant / Chandelier Replacement

This is a very pretty pendant/chandelier over our dining room table. It said "for the foyer" on the instruction sheet but it can be used at other locations in your house. We really needed a replacement in our dining room. We love that the lights are covered by the glass which looks much better than open light bulbs. At night, it shines a reflection thru the glass against the walls in our dining room, which was surprising, but it looks very nice.

20” marita

Easy to install, but it is heavy. This was one part of three light installation. I had ordered 2 marita pendant lights also thinking that it would look something like the 20” they have a clear glass unlike the 20”. Has to call kischler for a shorter shaft to install over bulkhead. There customer service is not what I would call customer friendly. If you are looking for parts that should be in the box be prepared to pay extra for them which I did.

Disappointed

I had high hopes for this light fixture. It was the first we installed in this collection after remodeling. This light is bent and crooked. I tried to bend back some of the arms to no avail. Im hoping this one was a dud and the replacement I order will be better quality. The larger hanging light and the semi flush fixture all went up without any issues.

Great light over the breakfast table

Just installed two flush mount fixture's in my kitchen from the Marita collectiion, so I needed to add this pendent to it and it Is beautiful! Really completes the overall look.

Dining Room Lighting Fixture

A beautiful lighting fixture. Prompt shipping, well-protected packaging, easy to assemble. Only reason 4 stars is that down-rod was too long (12"), and light was too low, therefore had to buy a 6" brushed nickel down-rod to raise it closer to the ceiling.

Great choicw

I love this multi light clear glass light fixture. I love that we were able to mount it directly to the ceiling since the ceiling is low. Easy to put together and to install. The light it gives off is wonderful and I would recommend this to anyone.

Beautiful Marita Pendant Light

I put two Marita 20-inch pendant lights over the island in my kitchen and it looks simply beautiful. The assembly took about 30 minutes and it was relatively simple. I'm extremely happy about the high quality of the product. It shows very well.
