Let me first start by saying that this is an absolutely beautiful chandelier! I love it and it was half the price of another one I liked at RH, score! Fair warning though...the directions are an absolute nightmare. They would be better off sending you a piece of paper that says "Good luck." My husband and I worked on it together over a period of 3 evenings. After that, I brought in a contractor to finish putting it together and hang it. The contractor and his helper were at our house for 10.5 hours! We had another chandelier at same time, which was no problem and was maybe only 90 minutes of that process. They struggled with the "directions" for this piece big time. With that said, after it was finally hanging, it was gorgeous. So if you're looking for a statement piece and know someone extremely handy, then this piece will work for you. If it wasn't for the terrible directions, I would have given this 5 stars.
