The photo doesnt do this light justice - its beautiful! Putting the spikes in is tedious, but not difficult. Doesnt include any instructionsdiagram regarding installing the spikes in order to get the desired shape. It will turn out either oblong or circular depending on how they are placed. One of the bulb housing thingys was loose and askew, but still functional, which is why I rated 4 stars instead of 5. Also, the gold is more orangey than I expected, but still pretty.
