WOW WOW WOW!!!!  A lot of reviews mentioned how hard it was to install the crystals. While it did take a bit of time, it wasn’t all that bad. 1-install the crystals before mounting the fixture to the ceiling. 2- instructions say to add big crystal to strands and then add the to fixture. It went very quickly by adding the strands of crystals to the fixture 1st and then adding the large crystals.
