This chandelier is beautiful. It took our formal dining room to a new level. It’s elegant and classic. The chandelier was packaged very well. Installation of the fixture took twenty minutes to install with two people. The fixture itself did not come all together you have to put some piece together, especially the crystals. Obviously it’s understandable as they can’t ship it with the crystals attached. Here is my guidance with putting the glass crystals on. It is very very tedious. The top row and bottom row are the tear drops and the ice crystal looking ones (known as B) are harder to put up because of the hooks. Start from the bottom up. Also I would do one whole set first instead of alternating between the crystals . It makes for a faster flow. Just keep attention to the pattern so you don’t miss one and have to start all over.
