5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect for Vaulted Ceilings I love it! It was super easy to put together and install. I have slanted ceilings, so it’s nice that the base has a swivel on it so it can be adjusted to hang straight. The hanging length is also adjustable. I only used the smaller tube and one long tube (the cords go through the black tubes). It came with two more long tubes that I didnt use. It does not come with the actual light bulbs, so I had to buy those separately (about ~$40 extra dollars). I’m really happy with the light fixture. It makes my small kitchen space feel so much more updated.Variation: Color: 8Black&Gold
5.0 out of 5 stars Happy with quality and ease of use I’ve never done any sort of electrical work before, but decided to adopt my mantra of ‘How hard can it be? Boys do it’ and attempt to change out my dining room light fixture by myself. The chandelier was (mostly) easy to put together; when screwing the arms into the main body, I had to finesse the wires a bit to shove them into the post. The included instructions were easy to read and follow, me having to watch some YouTube videos had nothing to do with the instructions and everything to do with my lack of experience. The product quality seems to be fantastic. Looking forward to my new lighting for my family holiday gathering!Variation: Color: 8Black&Gold
