Review on National Hardware N274 852 V2672 Antique by Matthew Marquez

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Stanley Swag Hook Works and holds rustoleum color better than expected

So we needed to replace our mini chandelier in the kitchen and remove about 30cm from our existing home and that was the only idea that I had . since none of the electricians in town want to visit my BFE house. The new chandelier is pretty darn heavy (about 20 pounds, 5 lights, glass bulbs, metal everywhere) so I needed something pretty heavy. This hook had some good reviews so I figured why not. My new bracket is oiled bronze, so I coated the CORRECTLY LABELED, POORLY PHOTOGRAPHED "antique brass" hook with two coats of Rustoleum Bronze oil paint before attaching the hook. . No problem: I let the paint dry for 4 hours and then hung the new bracket on the hook without scratching or peeling the new paint. This is great hardware - a nice big lever that you stick through the ceiling and then GENTLELY pull the hook down a bit while screwing it into the ceiling to secure everything. I highly recommend this hook. Yes, it's pretty rich for most uses, but it's a hell of a lot better than those stupid rubber-coated numbers that look like the only other option smaller than an arm and leg. 5 Stars!

Pros
  • Good product for the price
Cons
