This light fixture was very difficult to assemble. There were nut(s)in the inside round portion connected  to each light strand, which you had to some how screw (not good for someone with big hands). On one of the nut, the threads on the nut and bolt did not match which caused it to become cross threaded, and was not replaceable. Customer service was very helpful and gave a credit for a defect piece. I will never order this item again. On a positive note, the size and style was perfect just wish it was put together, I wouldnt mind paying much more for that........
