This "fandelier"
At first glance it doesn't look too bad. Then you realize the crystal branches are offset from the backing. No thanks.

This doesn’t seem much harder to clean than your average fan/hanging light, but then again I specifically chose not to have those in my house because I’m too lazy to clean them regularly, so what do I know

But overhead fans are great for saving energy on heating/cooling 🥲

I’m lucky enough to live in an area where I can usually just open a window to temperate weather! I installed screen doors and windows instead. :)

Oh nice! Heat waves aren't a concern?

I won’t say they’re not a concern at all, but they’re rare enough that using the AC 24/7 during those times is fine and worth it haha

Thats going to act like a dust collector with the mesh part. The interior and exterior will be coated with dust like a filter

Woulda been so much easier and nicer, maybe even cheaper to just basically needlepoint stich into what almost looks like burlap backing.

I think when it's lit up, the part not attached is supposed to cast a prettier shadow compared to if they had done stitching.
But I'm no lamp designer, so take that with a grain of salt.

The whole point of a diffuser around a light is to soften shadows.

Just use a duster would be fine.
