This went into our redone Master bedroom that is a transitional bedroom.  It is a very substantial chandelier and is heavy.  It was worth it though as it looks fantastic in the bedroom!  A real showpiece with all the new bedroom furniture.  I would recommend this to anyone and all I had to do was spray paint the candlestick portion satin white as they had a yellowish tint to them.  The chandelier was already assembled but will need to strong people to install if you do it yourself. Also, the package arrived on time, no damage and it's so beautiful!!
