What they don't show you is the ugly, cone shaped, foot long mounting apparatus. This and the 3 foot cord made it way too long for my 8 ft. tall ceilings. However..I wanted...I NEEDED that chandelier in the bathroom. So, not being one that is easily deterred, I bought a white mounting kit from the Homo Depot to redo the mounting and started cutting wires. Well, I discovered the mounting apparatus had gold bolts and hook which I then had to paint silver and white to match the unit. I almost killed myself hanging the thing solo but it's done....and now my bathroom has a nice romantic feel to it. I also installed a dimmer switch for the chandelier. Sometimes, I don't want bright light when I'm trying to relax in the tub. What? What! Now that I know my wiring job works....on to the task of drywalling the area of the wall I removed. Hurrah!
