I love this light fixture! It's rustic yet looks elegant in the dining area. It is large and looks good from a 9' ceiling. It came hardwired and was very easy to install. It does require two people - one person to hold it up (it's heavy) while the other person does the electrical work. It does not come with the candelabra bulbs. I had to go back to description on Wayfair to find out what kind of bulb was needed since it didn't list in the packaging. Lowes had several different types to choose from. The ambient light is beautiful at night against the dining room's charcoal gray wall.
