This style lamp is available at Costco. There is oval and round.I purchased it and hung it up yesterday afternoon. When I flipped the switch, it looked absolutely beautiful. The problem is the G9 lights were 35 watts each,. The lamp required 7 bulbs. I only used three. The Halogen bulbs gave me a massive migrain. I never had this type of headache in my life!!! I am going to try to use a bulb that isn't as bright,, are available at Walmart online. I hope this helps. Otherwise, it's back to the store it goes. 8(

Costco carries this chandelier??

I suggest a dimmer to provide a full range of illumination.

Thank you for your interest in this classic chandelier. I was able to confirm that the pricing difference is due to the International Service Fee. I hope this helps, have a great day!
