Well, I should have taken the reviews to heart as this is REALLY hard to put together. My husband was able to do so and wire it up and it works but it is cheaply made and the candle holders are all crooked and hard to straighten adequately and even the light bulbs won't screw in straight. That said, the size / shape / style is what we wanted and the price was dirt cheap on sale so we are going to keep it and count on no one noticing the crookedness.
