Yay!  Let me warn you (but in a good way):  18 bulbs that are 40W each will give off some LIGHT.  A lot of the reviews mentioned installing a dimmer along with this light and I 100% agree with them.  I did that myself.  The pole the light hangs down from is actually 4 different metal pieces, all about 14-16",  that screw into each other.  The directions say to screw together the total pipe amount you want, and then feed the wire through the hole in the pipes.  *I would disagree with that part.*  The wire ends up catching on the tiniest little thing and is hard to feed.  Instead, I progressed the wire through one pipe section at a time.  I put some tape around the wire's end to help keep it tight, and even then it still took several tries to feed it through each pipe section.  So beware of that.
