Does this chandelier have to be hard wired? Or can it be swagged and plugged in?

No. Must be hard wired. It hangs from a long chrome type plate. It is way too big to swag. I have it over my 8 ft dining table and it is perfect. It is my fav new addition to my remodeled house.

The way the light is shipped it must be hard wired. It is just the typical exposed wires, positive, negative and a ground wire

This fixture can be plugged into a wall. It is already hardwired. I love my fixture.

I suppose if you put in a dimmer switch. It is a hardwired fixture. Absolutely beautiful! Ask them for extra rings to piece it all together though, mine did not come with enough.

This is a hard wired light fixture. But if you contact the seller, they can put a plug on it if you would rather. Just keep in mind that it only comes with 3' of a hang down so you might want to add cord (for a little extra charge) if you are plugging it in. Thank you.

It doesn't plug in. It is hard wired. If you have replaced any light fixture before, this one is no different. It was fairly easy to install and looks great!

it is hardwired, you will have to call someone to install it, but then I have to say it looks just awesome as my kitchen main lamp

It comes with the bulb but not a plugged cord. This fixture is meant to be hard wired but you could attach a cord.

It is meant to be hard wired. There is no plug and no switch. Even though I googled something else, namely very specifically a plug-in switched hanging lamp, this popped up first and I didn't read the fine print to see that it wasn't at all what I was looking for. Be warned.

Negative. I had to splice it into existing wiring that I already had from a regular ceiling light. This worked for me because this chandelier acts as our entry light and is connected to a wall switch. Wouldn't be hard to actually slice in a plug though if that's what you need.

Hard wired. It worked perfectly for a light socket that did not have a light switch to control it (house was built in 1941 and has some weird wiring). This sconce is fantastic and we would highly recommend it!

The light is hard wired. I liked the light when I received it, but after installing it (I had a light fixture outlet already there) it is even more elegent looking! I bought it for my grand daughter's nursery.

It's wired like a table lamp. Mount it on the wall where you want it to be, the cord and plug hang down from it...plug it in...voila... beautiful!

No. Its a ceiling lamp so you need to plug into wires. I liked it but sent it back because it was too big for my kitchen.

This had to be hard wired. I also thought it might be able to be plugged in but no. However, I bought a plug and used the wiring to add the plug and it worked fine.

Yes, it is actually made to be hard wired like a traditional chandelier. That is, as long as you order both the shade and the pendant rod/lighting fixture.

this light fixture does not plug into the wall - it needs to be hardwired - I purchased this one first, returned and purchased Design House 517664 Millbridge 1 Light Swag Light Fixture, Oil Rubbed Bronze Finish, with Alabaster Glass by Design House (from Amazon) - it plugs into the wall outlet.

Yes, it can. I have mine wired to plug in, but you can also direct wire it as well. I did purchase the additional wiring kit to plug it in, but feel it was a waste of money and could be purchased cheaper at the hardware store... It included gold chain (I prefer the bronze that came with the lamp) and a lot of wire, a switch, plug, etc; I truly love this lamp... It is class!
