This is such a beautiful light. Shipped fully assembled, except for the chain, and was easy to install. We initially put in 60 watt bulbs, and nearly went blind. So we swapped them for 40 watt and they look perfect. My only concern is getting finger prints on the glass. Obviously if there's light shining through, you'll see every smudge. But I think its worth the trouble, because the light looks so perfect.
