The pictures do not do this justice at all. It is stunning.  I found attaching the base to the bracket was a pain to line the screws up with the holes. Even though the strings were neatly seperated in numbered bags, it was like they twisted them together. So the most time consuming part for me was untangling the strings. I found the instructions more than adequate, Im not sure what else they could instruct you to do. 

This was worth every penny for me.
