LOVE this chandelier, and my girls do, too!  We put this in their bedroom, along with a stand up light fixture with similar shells and the bright white Willingham 70" Valance Curtains also found on Wayfair. The three complement each other nicely and really tie the room together.  We have this fixture on a dimmer switch, and the lights cast really beautiful shadows around their bedroom. I can't speak to the installation because I happened to have a carpenter doing other work in the house and he installed it, but it didn't seem to take him very long.  I like how we were able to adjust the height/ceiling drop of it. We mounted ours pretty close to the ceiling to maximize the amount of light it would cast in the rather big bedroom (which is does nicely).  I would definitely buy again!
