I ordered two of these for a living  room which had no ceiling lamp. One of them went missing in the mail. Wayfair sent a replacement quickly. They are now installed and look great with or without the chandelier crystals. I looked at many before choosing these. This was by far the best looking and best value. It was tricky adding the crystal strings but more a matter of needing small fingers and dexterity than a design issue. They light up the room perfectly for a cost evening ambiance.
