Update The little crystals are pretty and light enough they don’t add a ton extra weight to the heavy base. You do want to take some time and attach the crystals to the end piece. It will save you frustration and time later. The fandelier is stunning. Absolute showstopper. I will say with my ceiling being 9ft tall I should have chosen the longer down rod to feel the fan better, but that’s a user error. I am using 25w b-10 lights and they’re great.
