Hah, yes that is definitely nice! The photos don't really capture how it actually looks when it's lit up - in the photos the light looks much more concentrated, but in person it's a much different effect, almost like the whole thing is glowing.

Cleaning is actually way easier than I thought it would be! I just use a damp paper towel and wipe off the bulbs - it takes maybe 10 minutes total? I want to try doing it with a feather duster but haven't gotten around to it yet - I think that may make it even simpler.

As far as the breezes, we haven't had any issues. We keep our windows open often (and there are a lot of windows in the room!) and even on very breezy days, the bulbs may bump into one another a bit, but never enough to break.

It definitely doesn't look like the bulbs are burned out in person. All of the light from the lit-up bulbs bounce off the un-lit bulbs and it creates a really nice effect. In the end, it was really just a matter of preference - we didn't want the dining room to be super bright, so we went with just lighting some random bulbs. It would be easy to adjust that and light up more if that's more your style!
