This light fixture was HARD to put together. It looks great, and I'm glad we got it, but the amount of effort put into getting it hung up was exhausting. The lamp cords are about 5 feet long, so if you don't need that much, you have to fit all of the excess cord into the shallow fixture at the top and keep it hidden. It just doesn't seem well thought out in that aspect. But now that it's hung up, we really like it and get lots of compliments on it!
