Kenroy Home Chandelier Review

I was given free product in exchange for a review for this post. You can read my full disclosure policy here.

To say that the lighting in our bedroom was dismal is a huge understatement. But being that we rent, we didn’t really see much reason to change it out. Until Kenroy Home contacted me asking if I would like to review one of their products. Um yes please! I found this gorgeous chandelier on their site and knew it would be the perfect update for our space.

You can read more about The Antoinette Chandelier here.

Now let’s start with the Pros about this beauty.

:: The chandelier arrived two days after I ordered it. Speedy delivery!

:: It was relatively simple to put together. All you need to do is attach the hanging gems and screw in some of the arched pieces.

:: Electrically, it was quite easy as well. I have to give mad props to the hubby here because I think he even surprised himself when we tried to turn it on and it actually worked. And just to let you know he’s never replaced any light like this before. #proudwifey I had a total Clark Griswold moment when I flipped the switch and the chandelier was shining bright in all it’s glory. Note: When you’re working with the electrical, be sure to turn off the power on your fuse box, until you’re ready to turn the light on.

:: It comes with extra hanging gems, in case you lose some along the way.

:: You get a good arm workout holding it up while your hubby attaches all the wires.

:: IT’S PRETTY! I mean obviously, I wouldn’t have picked it if it wasn’t, but it looks even better when it’s hanging up then it does online.

Ok, now just a couple Cons.

:: It doesn’t come with light bulbs. Womp womp. And of course you need 5 and the ones at the hardware store came in packs of 4. But now we have extras when they burn out 🙂

:: The chain it comes with is CRAZY long. Like 6 feet. And as you can see we only used about 4 links. It was really hard for us to get the chain apart (and when I say us I mean the hubs) but the directions come with a little tip using some plyers and a screwdriver which helped.

Not only does it look beautiful in our room, but it shines BRIGHT. Or maybe we just think that because our old light was so awful. But either way, we love it and are super happy with it!

Have you had success or failure in installing your own lights?

Have a fabulous day everyone!

    Hi – I came across your site on Pinterest and just to say you make a superb job of your decoupaging furniture – love them – well done. But… just a remark on your chandelier.

    OMG – you actually paid $237.20 that was a LOT of money. I repurposed a light which was ‘chandelier style’ but no crystals – it was in a gold colour but I had redecorated our bedroom and colours were black, silver with a touch of red so wanted the chandelier silver – so I painted it and ordered some crystals separately which cost me about £40 from the UK – I am in Ireland. It looks beautiful – shame I can’t attach a picture to this comment for you to see.

    But… just a little story – while I was sourcing just the crystals, I came across a US site and wanted to order some, but their delivery to Ireland was about $200 – that was just the DELIVERY and the crystals were costing only about $50 – of course I wrote to them about their astronomical delivery prices! My delivery from the UK to Ireland was about £5.95

    Thank you for sharing all your lovely ‘creations’ 🙂 I shall look forward to receiving an email on any of your new ones 🙂

      Hi Denise! Thank you so much for the kind words 🙂 I actually didn’t pay for the chandelier, the company sent it to me for free to review. Repurposing one sounds like fun, I’m sure it turned out beautiful!

      Have a great weekend!

        Blimey – you got it FREE ‘to try out’ – does that mean you also get to keep it:)?
        If you do your a lucky lady 🙂 Very nice

    It’s a really nice chandelier Bre. I like the size, style and finish and of course the pretty bling. All hanging light fixtures come with the extra long and sometimes annoying chain in case you’re hanging it from a super high ceiling. Like that it comes with extra bling – ours didn’t so it’ll be a yikes if any break.

      We’re super happy with it! I guess the long chain will come in handy if we move and decide to put it somewhere else 🙂 Hopefully you don’t lose any of your gems!

    It’s beautiful! AND it comes with replacement gems!
    I’m not sure why the chain for it would be so long, but I guess if you have to move, take it with you, you don’t have to worry about keeping those 4, just take the leftover of the 6ft with you, ha!
