This Chandelier is absolutely stunning. The light illuminates off the crystals and brightens the room beautifully. The installation isn't difficult if you know what you're doing. But if you've never installed any type of lighting before, I recommend calling a professional or even a friend who may be more experienced. You will definitely need at least one other person to assist you with the installation process for sure. Aside from that, I am absolutely happy with my purchase. Seems sturdy and it comes with extra crystal pieces for the drum just in case they fall out. I got this just in time for fall when it starts to get darker earlier. The only other lighting I had in my living room was a small, sad lamp in the corner. The lighting from this chandelier is enough on its own without any additional lighting. I am very pleased with my purchase
