I can finally say that this was worth the aggravation after months of trying to figure out very poor instructions.  I still couldn’t figure out all the crystals, but irregardless it is beautiful and makes the statement I was looking for in my 2 story foyer. Pictures don’t do this chandelier justice.
I kept this at 4 stars because the instructions were awful.  But the company who manufactured the chandelier were very helpful each time I called with questions.
