We purchased the chandelier for our daughter's nursery. After opening the box, I discovered two sets of instructions - one for a hard-wired install and one for a plug-in install. Suffice it to say, the instructions for the install were lacking details and poorly written. I ended up doing various web searches to get a better sense of what needed to be done for a hard-wire install.

Another caution - the ceiling medallion associated with the fixture is just barely wider than the electrical box which it would cover. You may need to get a larger ceiling medallion (i.e. a 10" diameter) to cover any gaps not covered by the one with this unit. 

Aside from those little issues, the chandelier is pretty nice. It puts out a good amount of light and adds a nice touch to the room. It does have plastic gems, but for the price you can't really expect more.
