This chandler proved to be a challenge for my handyman. I used it as a chandelier and the piece that mounts on the ceiling was not drilled with the correct holes and the chain is short. He was able, with his ingenuity, to re- drill more holes and retrofit the lighting mount as a drop -down look. The crystals are another story. I will have a friend help me to position them as they appear to be of good quality and give me the look I am after, BUT I can tell this will be a big job requiring much patience! I look forward to a positive outcome as this is a beautiful fixture and will be a great focal point for my room!
