Very pretty, vintage style chandellier. Easy to shorten the lenght if you got the same coloured wires in your ceiling as the chandellier has. If not, then it takes some time to figure out which colour wire attaches to which. And the manual is not much help with this. But my husband is smart with diy stuff and he figured it out quickly. The finish is almost seamless everywhere. Colour is great too, and goes lovely with a classic or Victorian style warm colour schemed living room or dining room. We have a large but lowish ceilinged living room and 2 of these chandelliers give off perfect bright light.
