Nice chandelier at good price - I spray painted the metal parts oil rubbed bronze to get the look I wanted.  Crystal hanging takes a while but is not hard, my kids (13 & 8) did it for me.  The only dissatisfaction I have with the chandelier is that it hangs crooked on the chains, the chandelier itself is apparently not balanced.  I fixed this by moving the position on the notched ring on the top of the chandelier to off center where it hangs from the bottom chain length.  Now the chandelier is balanced, but you can tell if you look closely that the notched ring now looks crooked.  I can live with that.
