This is so beautiful! I am not usually into crystal chandeliers (too fancy), but I wanted to have change up our guest bedroom and remove the ugly ceiling fan, put up crown molding and paint the walls (before and after images shown). The chandelier is the best improvement by far and the quality of the lighting in the room is impressive (used 40 watt frosted Candelabra bulbs). Ok - let's talk assembly. Yes, it is a pain. Like others shared, the instructions were garbage and my thumb fingernail was shot after 1.5 hours of assembly. I became more bold towards the end and pried the keychain metal hoops wide open with a plier and then used it again to mold each one back together after the crystal was attached. Much easier. Also, do not attach the crystal cups until after you have installed the chandelier. It is too heavy and awkward during installation otherwise. I still declare it is worth it and would do it again.
