The perfect addition to my niece's nursery! The soft pink is just perfect for a young girls room. The lighting brightens and highlights all the colors in the room and actually is brighter than we expected since all the bulbs are openly exposed. We did need an electrician to assist with installing, but you can try an online tutorial if you are patient. Yes it is mostly plastic but very hard to tell when hung, as it does not show up as cheapened by that fact.
