Not very impressed with the quality of the glass. There were chips on about half of the crystals. Not cut properly? Not sure but they really show when looked at closely. The large glass ball at the bottom was very dirty. Black dirt or oil was all over it where the drill mark was. The instructions were very basic and could have been much better. Would not buy again. From a distance the chandelier is stunning. When close you can see a bunch of issues. Just not good quality. I had an electrician install the base pieces for me and I put the rest together. I would have returned it if I had known the quality before I just paid money to have it installed. Too late now.
