I have purchased three crystal chandeliers two were relatively straightforward and included good directions. This chandelier is gorgeous, but BE WARNED if you’re like me and you’ve never put one together before, the directions, if you can even call them that, are incredibly poor on how to assemble, but once you do, it’s absolutely gorgeous. The other two I purchased were larger and only took about an hour to two hours to assemble each, but this particular chandelier took about six hours, and there is no YouTube assembly video. Only an installation video and that’s not helpful at all. The instructions on assembly is half of one page with a photo that includes no details whatsoever and without the electrician I would’ve never been able to put it together!
