This is a beautiful and unique lamp that has become the focal point in our family room. Just a note of clarification regarding the item description, the hanging jewels are acrylic, not glass. This does not really make a difference in the appearance at all and is only noticeable if you actually touch the crystals. Also, the strands of acrylic jewelscrystals are packaged separately and do require installation onto the lampshade. This was a task that proved to be too challenging for me as I couldn’t quite figure out from the directions how to do it correctly. My daughter was able to figure it out after a slight bit of trial and error. The lamp was well packaged for shipping and really looks beautiful fully assembled with a soft white bulb in it.
