Ok, first of all this chandelier is beautiful in my bedroom. If I had to go off looks alone, I would give it 5 stars. It beautiful and bright. I bought it to add to decor, but it gives off so much light. I keep it on. BUT, putting this together with the direction that comes with it, is CRAZY!! It comes with 148 crystals laying individually in the box. Are you serious I got lucky and the installation tech went ahead and put it together for me. It took him about hour because he stated that he had put several of these together. Hire someone to put it together!!
