The listings show two common fitter types for replacement shades: clip-on fitters and spider-style fitters.
Installation depends on the product: replacement shades use clip-on or spider-style fitters; fabric sleeves typically wrap around chains or cords and use zippers or hook-and-loop closures; seasonal porch covers may attach with elastic straps.
Some chandelier shade listings specify a maximum of 40 watts for candelabra bulbs.
Assembly varies by product: some listings state 'Adult Assembly Required' and include tools, while many fabric sleeves and replacement shades require no assembly and install using simple zippers or hook-and-loop closures.
