The chandelier was very nice but had to be assembled.  The assembly instructions were somewhat vague and didn’t provide any hints to try to align all the various pieces.  Also, I think the price was a bit high after seeing all the different components individually and having to spend the time putting it together.  The price I paid would have been much more acceptable at a lighting showroom where the labor to put the chandelier together would have been included.  However, overall the chandelier liiks great and was just what we wanted.
