This is a lovely fixture, and I love the way it looks.  I do think, though, that the black cord is a bit heavy for the delicate framework of the fixture and the link chain.  Also, it isn't threaded evenly on the chain (as another reviewer noted), and cannot be adjusted unless you remove and then rewire/reattach the plug.  Finally, I don't understand why this lamp can't be hard-wired to an existing ceiling box, but we swagged the cord to a nearby outlet as instructed.
