Other than the horrific assembly instructions, I am in love with this light fixture.  It is overpriced based on the level of assembly, as the chandelier arrives in a box in SO many pieces and it is overwhelming.  Assembly tips:  For the top section, there are 4 sets (8 strands total) that are slightly longer than the rest. Put those at the corners.  The bottom strands are all the same size.  The design is meant to go small beads near the small wood square and big beads near the middle frame.  Hope this helps!
