I bought this to hang above my dining room table. It is beautiful and I get so many compliments. I found that it was simple to follow the directions. They are short but the pictures are really easy to understand. I found light bulbs at home depot with no problem. The picture is true to the actual thing. My only worry was that there was lint caught in between the white fabric and that it would show once it was lit but I don't notice it now that it is hung.
