Pictures may be difficult to see but what is a proper way to suspend a Chandelier of this size. Estimating it to be 5' Diameter x 7' Tall and only can guess a couple hundred pounds in weight. Picture taken up in attic show chain wrapped around a steel cross bar and structured web member.

It really depends on the size and span of the unistrut, but based on the fact that someone felt a chain was in order, I'd have no problem deferring this to a qualified contractor.

This is a new home construction. At first all I saw was just the chain from the distance then when I got closer and pushed away the insulation I saw the unistrut and it was not secured. Actually I could not get a clear view because of the insulation obstructing most of the installation. I never came across this before so I did report this to the home buyer and did make recommendation they talk to the builder to qualify the installation. All I could think of if this thing let loose its not going to good because this was at least a 20' ceiling.
