I am in love with this chandelier! The wood and crystal strains come pre done so you just connect them! Very easy to put together. It’s a bit heavy so have a helper or hire a handyman for help. It’s quite massive and just perfect in our formal dining room. The pictures honestly don’t even do it justice! It’s a jaw dropper! The way the light comes through the beads and crystal create a beautiful kaleidoscope if shadows in the ceilings. 
We have 12 foot ceilings and an 8 foot farm table and it looks amazing together!
