This chandelier is beautiful! But the assembly and instructions were AWFUL! You really have to just put it together however you can get it to work. It took my husband and me about 3 hours split into two days to get it all together. The main rod you attach all the layers to was about 1/2 an inch too short, so we had to leave out some parts just to get it to work. The end product is great, but a huge pain....
