This light is very bohemian which is what I love. The light did NOT come with the screws. It also did not come with directions. Also, the black cord is tacky, but the light is so nice that you'll have to decide if you can live with it. My husband hard wired it and we shortened the chain easily because one chain was not completely connected, so we bent it open and used it to hook the chain higher (then used pliers to close the link).
