Does anybody know anything about it? Is it hard to put up or should I hire someone to put it up for me?
if it is true crown, and angled away from the wall you should definately hire someone to do it. It really requires a nice sliding compound miter saw, a coping saw, and a nice finish nailer. To get the angles correct you need to be pretty proficient in math. Buy what you want yourself, and check craigs list for a reputable carpenter in your area. You should be able to get a prety good sized room done for less than 200.00 in labor if you stain it yourself


Rob is right, It requires compound miter cuts, and coping, now, there use to be crown molding corner pieces, i'm assuming you can still get them, for inside or outside corners, but the installation still requires miter cuts. These pieces are expensive, i would go with Rob's advice. If you are going to spend that kind of money, you want professional looking results.
