Matte Black Iron 5-light Chandelier

Rating

I purchased this fixture for my living room. The hardest thing about the assembly was tightening the bolts, as there isn't much space to work with. The wiring was easy and the light looks great. A nice surprise was that the fixture came with both black and white 'collars', so you can decide on the look you want. The shades are very nice, but I decided not to use them, as I prefer the candle bulbs on dimmer switches. The fixture is lightweight and not overly sturdy, however knowing my builder used cheap material, I knew I had to install a fixture that didn't weigh a lot, so this light is perfect.

Not a bad lamp for the price, but it's not quite as nice as the photo makes it appear. Lamp arrives completely unassembled and you have to feed the wires through each tube. Thank goodness my electrician put it together, I would have not had the patience. But if you are handy and you're not too picky this is an okay light.

I purchased two of these chandeliers for two adjoining rooms. I was prepared for the assembly to be time-consuming due to the reviews and it was. Luckily, my husband put them together. I had also read in the reviews that the finish said matte, but some people said it was glossy, WELL evidently I should have looked at them before my husband assembled them because I found out after they were all put together after hours of labor that ONE was glossy and ONE was matte. Very frustrating!! I did not want to put my husband through the hassle of taking it apart, shipping all the pieces back, waiting for a new one, and then making him assemble it again. I am now stuck with non matching finishes, but they do look nice and they were a good price. Just BE AWARE if you want a certain finish (matte or glossy) don't buy this. Who knows what you'll get?

once you get it put together and hung straight- you'll be happy with it. it took a little work to get to that point, but for the price, i cant complain. It looks great- exactly the look i was going for. the shades are neutral- somewhere between linen and champagne. overall, i'm very pleased.

Once the fixture was installed, it looked good. However, the ordeal to assembly and wire the fixture was a nightmare. Eventually hired a professional who found the assembly to be difficult. One light shorted out after 3 days. Again, professional was called back to repair which added to the cost. The lampshades originally looked good. Began with lower wattage light bulbs than recommended. But after 3-4 weeks the glue on the shades became discolored. Now looking to replace shades. More cost! The fixture looks good but this was more of an ordeal (hiring professional), time consuming and added purchases than I had anticipated.
