Hardware House 544452 Bristol 5-Light Chandelier, Brushed Nickel

I LOVE this chandelier and have gotten MANY compliments from guests. It's my little secret though that I only paid fifty five bucks on amazon instead of hundreds at those big home improvement stores.... I'm a woman who's done electrical wiring at home before (hanging ceiling fans, bath vanity fixtures) and I found it fairly easy and straightforward to take down my existing chandelier and install this one. The instructions included weren't always so clear, but again, since I've done this type of project before, it wasn't a big deal. The HARDEST part was opening the top and bottom links of the chain -- it takes some muscle. But I finished the project by myself in 1 evening. Also, the finish is a tad more shiny than I expected for what was supposed to be brushed nickel. I was concerned that it wouldn't match my other brushed nickel fixtures, but since it's so beautiful otherwise, a little mismatch is ok. Highly recommended fixture.

No serious assembly required as other reviews state, just rearrage arms to pentagon shape and then install. Add glass diffusers after installation. Not flimsy metal but feels solid and does have some heft. Especially after glass diffusers are added. There is a little bit of play allowed in the glass diffuser seating so they can all be leveled easily after install. Looks nice, light, modern, brushed nickle finish is neutral and clean in appearance. So happy to not be looking at the gold plated 60's eyesore with those flame shaped bulbs. No offense to those that are making that work. .. Price for design blows big box store offerings away like nobody's business

This light is just really pretty. It's simple yet really nice to look at. It gives a really nice amount of light, too. We put the little curly bulbs in it so now it hardly takes any energy to use it. It wasn't too hard to install either. My husband got it done in a few hours...and he takes lots of breaks. The price on Amazon was so much better than what I could find it for anywhere else. We even looked at Home Depot and our local hardware store and couldn't find anything comparable.

The quality complaints of other reviews ALMOST made me move on but I decided to roll the dice. Overall it is a nice looking fixture but there were a few quality problems out of the box: One of the glass fixtures has a chip in the top. I am going to contact for replacement glass and will update my review if needed. (2) there were a few small rust spots on one of the arms which wasn't visible until I hung it from the ceiling. I was able to kind of fix it (rub with foil so it's only noticeable if you know where to look) but it was a sloppy finish in that spot and the hassle to return outweighs living with it. The complaints about assembly difficulty were worse than what I actually experienced but the directions are indeed poorly written. Fortunately it was mostly pre-assembled and if you pay attention to how you remove the old fixture, it's not that difficult. The hardest part was threading the wires through the chain and into the box (took a loooooong time) but the whole process was pretty standard for that type of light. TIPS: Buy the little LED bulbs, not regular size. The complaints about differing heights are overblown and can be easily corrected by adjusting the glass things and light pressure on the arms (easy). The photo on Amazon looks shinier than it really is-it is a LITTLE bit shinier than my brushed nickel faucet but really not by much. Save your old fixture parts-one of the supplied parts was too long so I reused the one from the old fixture. Don't electrocute yourself. Overall: nice looking, reasonable cost, standard assembly, a few minor manufacturing defects with the worst being rust on a joint and small glass chip

This is a good deal. Yes it is a little light-weight. And no it is not the same quality as expensive light fixtures. But we were on a tight budget finishing the décor of the house, I needed quite a few fixtures and this fit the bill for my informal dining area. I like it, it looks great and I would buy it again. It looks just as pictured, no surprises. The finish is shiny but subdued, it does give an appearance almost like brushed nickel. Unlike some other reviews, I didn't have any issues of it not sitting evenly, It looks great to me. For the price, it is unbelievable. We have it on a dimmer switch so I can adjust the brightness as desired. No regrets for this purchase.

This lighting fixture looks wonderful! I had this installed by a local electrician and it made such a difference to the diningroom. Impressed with the design and quality, and how much brighter and bigger it made the dining area. I was happy with the overall look of this fixture, plus it was very easy to put together out of the box. Family and friends all commented positively on how well it looked. Definitely an affordable buy for a well designed quality product.

I purchased this to go above my kitchen table after visiting the local lighting store. The price was about a third of what the store was charging for similar items, and the quality was top notch. Everything came in the box as expected and the appearance is beautiful. There is some installation skill required. Threading the electrical cord through the chain, cutting the cord and chain to length, and then installing the light into the electrical box in the ceiling (of course) are all required. If you're not sure you own the right tools to do the job you should probably plan on hiring an electrician to install for you.

Great light. Very study and well made. Bought this for house I am selling and thinking I might buy for new house. Glass globes are not one solid color, but milky with pretty random pattern. The light comes in a box with 3 lights on one side and two on the other. You have to reposition the lights into place. Upon closer examination the globes are not horizontally straight. Needed more adjustments of arms, but not difficult to do. I found this easier to do once the light was up. If not exact the light will not sit straight. From standing on the floor, you cannot tell any issues with the light. Installation went fairly easy, however I am experienced at this, which was good since the directions sucked. Suggest putting the light with chain together and lace power and ground wire through chain prior to attaching to junction box. I did like the fact that from the junction box out everything fit perfectly. When shortening the chain, do not pull the chain links apart. Instead use two pliers and seperate the chain buy appling force in opposite direction. What this does not do is distort the chain link oval shape. This takes five 60 watt bulbs. I only had 5 bulbs of two different types. When I put them in you cannot tell do to the opac globes

It is what it is... It hasn't burnt my house down yet so I'm pretty happy with it
