One of the best chandeliers! Works great for a tall ceiling. Our ceiling is 22 feet high. You’d think it would be a pain to install, well somewhat — you’d have to hire a professional help with scaffolding. Our installer was amazed how light and flexible the chandelier was the shades are actually made out of fabric. The fabric is durable and doesn’t wrinkle at all. The chandelier cones with long oversized cords, so you can play with different length of each pendant. It also comes with a cover plate with multiple holes for cord inserts so you can choose a configuration arrangement of the pendants. I definitely wouldn’t recommend to install it as DIY project hiring a professional installer was way worth it. We absolutely love the chandelier — it’s a wow right at the grand entrance hall!
