I love, love, love this chandelier!  It cam win perfect condition. It was a little difficult to put up. The instructions were very unclear, and I had never installed a light before. But my son & I were able to figure it out using the internet. The wires are not marked according to electric code.  We made the one with the white stripe, the "hot" and the one w/o markings the neutral.  I was abel to shift the center of my chandelier a few inches to accomodate a different placement of my dining room table, by placing the end of the base over the center of the ceiling hole.  I am using "filament" LED chandelier socket lights for a softer light.  Its just beautiful - far exceeds expectations
