I want to start by saying I think this is an absolutely beautiful piece and I love how it looks in my house. I had my dad install it so if you have someone handy that can do that safely it’s not too hard an installation. It does hang fairly low so I wouldn’t suggest it for someone with low ceilings. My only complaint but also kind of a plus at this same time is the quality. For the price I expected the wood to be a little more solid and sturdy. In this case since it makes it more lightweight and I can’t tell much of a difference once it is hung it’s not a huge issue for me. It is a great modern but elegant addition to any room.
