The light is perfect!!! It is exactly as described. I was grateful for the extra crystal (JUST IN CASE) but we had blankets below it in case any of them slipped out of our hands. Took 2 of us less than an hour to apply the crystals...one person prepped (wash, open clasp) and the other person attached. I would suggest doing the bottom row first and then moving upwards . (we did the opposite and found that way would have been smarter).  The light is beautiful, quite a statement piece and a great price!
