I watched Downton Abbey as I strung the many baubles. This takes some time. I am pleased with the look, the quality, and price. I’ve never put up a chandelier but did all of it with helps from my electrician friend, and my son who held it up for me. The photo which shows the metal piece and wires put together is misleading. Each arm has to be wired to the main wire, then the wire strung through the center, threaded through the chain links and then wired to the house. It would have been nice to have this part done already, as it added more difficulty and time. However, and review is from a beginner, it was not difficult to install. With the specified bulbs it is bright. I wish I could install a dimmer, but I can’t. It would lend extra romance to this chandelier. I am very pleased. I’d give 4 12 if I could but I won’t take it down to 4 stars.
