This pendant chandelier is spectacular.  It shines when lit (I used daylight bulbs) I placed it over my kitchen island and could not be happier.  It was not overly difficult to put together (after owing a historic mansion which I put together 22 chandeliers, this was a piece of cake)  be sure to put something under it if you drop a crystal.  I dropped ball and burst into a million pieces.  It was very fortunate that the manufacture prepared for at least on accident with each type of crystal.  I had an extra which not all manufactures do.  With some, you even may have a shortage.  This is a beautiful piece, I don't believe anyone would be disappointed.
