I haven't hung this up yet, so perhaps I'm posting prematurely, but I am thrilled with it. Lovely colour, just as it looks in the photo. What you can't see from the photo is that it has 2 wires coming down from the ceiling - the electrical flex and a metal one which (I'm assuming) supports the weight of the glass shade. Both are pretty long, but I'm assured can easily be adjusted to suit. Can't wait to get it hanging in my dining room!
