The issue with this chandelier is that does not come available to hard wire but rather as a 3-prong plugin cord. I have never seen a chandelier like this and have ordered and installed several as a homeowner over the last 10 years. The fixture itself is pretty but if you want it hardwired you will have to have an electrician to do so as there were no instructions for this, or any for that matter, included with the packaging. Overall I was disappointed and had to return the fixture.
