I was pleasantly surprised at how nice this chandelier was! It looks beautiful in our space, which is a somewhat small dining area so we didn't want something massive. This was the perfect size. Even came with a cord cover so I didn't have to make one! Assembly was a breeze and if you have the skills to put in a light fixture, it was very easy. My husband said at the bottom of the fixture there are several white and black wires that need to be connected--white together with a wire nut and black together with a wire nut. That was really the "trickiest" part.
