It’s a beautiful- beautiful Chandelier. Perhaps using screws that are not so easily rusted to prevent stripping would be nice to make it easier to unpack. The big round pieces on the top and bottoms are made of a type of clear beads, these parts are not crystal. The balls and other hanging pieces are heavy beautiful crystals. The instructions are so vague and you have to figure out how to hang the chains, because it seems that you can add crystals on( ie) buy more to hang! I have no clue but there are extra holes. This took me a while to figure out. Hanging the stuff after you do was easy. I added a medallion from wayfair for an extra piece of look to go with it on the ceiling. Very elegant look. And not huge and out of place.  I gave four starts for the lack of clear instructions and the rusted screws!
