We haven't finished installing the chandelier, but should be soon. It took quite a while to put all the pieces of the crystals together and then to hang them on the chandelier frame. Actually the instructions do not tell you how to hang the crystals on the chandelier--the arrangement of that, so you have to figure that out which could be simpler. Also remember to order lightbulbs separate. We got what was recommended which is good, but we're going to put a dimmer on the switch since it's so bright. Very pretty chandelier; makes the room look more elegant. Not sure the black frame was the best idea for us; I don't think they had it in another finish but I would probably pick something bronze or silver looking. Black seems a little harsh for our space.
