Yes, this may take a little more effort to hang, but it's not that bad.  We had a lot of fun putting it together and watching this gorgeous light come to life.  It is so worth it.  If it had come fully assembled, I think it would have cost a whole lot more.  Haven't seen anything close to this beauty in box and mortar stores and certainly not this quality in this price range.  I put two of them in my master bedroom (solution for low ceilings) with a dimmer switch.  Fun, happy, elegance.  Love Wayfair!

Pros: great value
Cons: best things in life take a little effort
