This chandelier is so amazing!  It's my favorite piece! I put it in my walk-in bedroom closet, and i love going in there every day!  It's a beautiful dark bronze/deep chocolate/almost black color.   It was very easy to install (i didn't do it myself though :-).  it will definitely take some patience though because it comes with so many pieces.  You have to hang each crystal strand and pendant individually and attach all the ring hooks.  that took quite awhile but there were two of us doing it so it was much easier.  It worked well to have him up on the ladder as i looked at the diagram, handed him the strands and directed where they go.  The instructions were fairly easy to follow - it got a little confusing in some parts but nothing that was too challenging to figure out.  we found some gorgeous bulbs that really bring out its charm. and the lighting is amazing and dances off the crystals so perfectly. It gave my closet the most feminine vintage glam vibe i was going for.
