We installed this ourselves and it was fairly typical as far as the electrical hook up. It took 3 of us to get it done - one to hold, one to install and the other for tools as we stood on the ladder. It was also difficult to screw in the bulbs into the narrow vases. All the extra work was worth it however. It's beautiful and is just the right mix of elegant and masculine.  The chandelier is well made with very nice materials. We chose it because it was elegant but still looked great in a bachelors home.  It also hides our LED light bulbs as they're not very pretty to see but highly functional. 

Pros: Elegant & Masculine in one. Made well.
Cons: Installation was moderately difficult
