Well to start, when I opened the box - it was in a bunch of pieces. (not put together like most light fixtures) it was easy to put together and the chrome appears well made. It includes a glove as to not get fingerprints on the chrome. There are a lot of crystals but those too go up easily, just time consuming. Coolest part is it casts a shadow pattern on the ceiling! Would so buy it again and what a great price....
