Any advice on hanging heavy (150lb) light fixture about bed?

We bought, without knowing, a ridiculously heavy glass and iron empire chandelier and it is meant to go above our bed in the middle of the bedroom ceiling. We are obviously worried about the weight and would like to see if anyone has any advice? I heard there are boxes out there that can support 150-170lb loads and also we have access to the ceiling from above for reinforcement if necessary.

Though we are wondering if we still would feel comfortable. What do you guys think? Is it worth it or should we return it and get something lighter?
