The chandelier is gorgeous.  The process of putting it together is very tedious.  The crystals themselves don't just hook on, each has a tiny loop like you would find on a key ring.  My nails were pretty destroyed after opening 60-70 loops to put them on the light.  It took a few hours to put it all together and there was a very strong chemical odour the entire time.  Ultimately, it's gorgeous, so it was worth my time.
