Beautiful, but you have to earn it! I was shocked how many pieces it came in and almost gave up after opening the box. Everything has to be assembled. The instructions for the crystals are a bit vague, but once you sit down and separate the pieces you will get the gist of how it works. The main advice I can give is-once you pull the framing out of the box check the little plastic flower shapes for the metal rings in the middle. Be sure that they are straight out and open so you can feed the rings through them. (We had to glue one at first, not recommended) You may need a pair of needle nose pliers in order to do this. Every single one of those rings will have to be used so they need to be out. It took us two hours to put it together but my husband and I are very happy with the results.￼￼
