For the value it's a good deal. Looks very classy and expensive. I did have to bend and straighten the arms using quite a bit of force as they come a bit catywampus (that's a Southern expression for crooked). Simulated candles were very cheap plastic covered with chrome film so I think they will deteriorate over the years. Assembly instructions were worthless (not even included in box but available on website download). Even so, I was able to figure it out easily by looking at the picture. Overall, I'm happy with the chandelier.
