It took a bit of preparation and patience to hang. However all I did to hang the light was strong the crystals. My dad and husband hung it with little complications. I think as long as you have good experience hanging light fixtures it will be fine. I read all the reviews before buying this light fixture and one thing that was common through the reviews was that it looks amazing!!! And it really does! I have gotten so many compliments on this light fixture!!! For the price it's definitely worth the little bit of extra work needed to hang.
