Lighting Design Dilemma

RH Odeon chandelier

2 years ago

I love the look of this chandelier, but it's giving me sticker shock at 5K. Any good alternatives or other sources I should consider? Going over 108 inch RH dining table.

Virtually all lighting is made in China. Visual Comfort, RH......Hinkley... and on and on. Don't pay or RH marketing, OR their ^&&*&%$## shipping, or their horrendous customer service, UNLESS you find nothing at all that reasonably compares. The End.

Admittedly great styling, admittedly appealing photography all of it. Just know.......for the most part? Hideously overpriced and quality suspect. - especially given price tag

Low volume production and a lot of crystal. They can get expensive. Look up some Schonbek pricing and you will see. no idea if RH will have crystal and quality as good as Schonbek though. I have an older Schonbek 'Fantasia' chandelier that has moved through 4 houses now. I take it and its solid plaster medallion down before listing and store them.

The devil is in the details. That is one gorgeous chandy. There are lots out there that are similar but just don't have that little bit of something that makes this one just so. What are the main features of this one that you like? (I am assuming that is is the ring with square holes. Otherwise there are many that would look like this one. Also the color being silver tone is important. Right?) What about it does not make any difference? RH has more 'trend setting' items than other stores, so it will be hard to find something like this. You could wait, and probably Target will have this in a couple of years. LOL.

These are from Corbett lighting; they may be a nice fit but l would try to see them up close first! Trying to match that fixture may be hard and you may want to go in another direction!

Sloped Ceiling - RH chandelier
Q

You would need a sloped ceiling adaptor and you will need to see if a lighting store near you has one that will work with this fixture also how long a rod did you get since it does not seem to be able to hang low enough I guess depending on how high your ceiling is.This a a very complicated light to hang in the first place so you will need to contact your electrician to see what they think

These dupes look great, but you may also want to check out Etsy. I noticed that there were a few custom lighting artisans there.

Thanks everyone! Is the RH cost worth it? It's so hard to tell from the photos whether the lookalikes are actually similar quailty?

I can never pull the trigger with RH, I go to the showroom, I like something, like a dresser but then i pull out a drawer and they always seem sticky. I cant spend 3500 + on something i dont loooove. Im not sure of the quality of their lighting, google ‘where is RH lighting comes from’. Looks like china and your paying god knows how much more for the name. I guess only you and your budget can answer whether its worth it.

Looks like Elegant Lighting makes a similar product, which is sold on wayfair, lighting NY, etc. Anyone have experience with their products? They seem to make a lot of "replica" RH products.

RH is a name, still made in china, and from my experience terrible customer service especially on parts or replacements.

also lighting is based on the market trend, so if it sells, they will all do it.

fascinating...I don't think I've ever visited this Houzz forum

Hilarious to know Restoration Hardware went upmarket and changed their name to "RH". Here's another abbreviation: ROTFL.
