Comes completely disassembled and took my husband 4 hours to put together. He accidentally forgot to put the ceiling hardware on so that’s probably what took so long. Ha! So don’t forget about that. We also hung this light up in a stairway so that added time too. The light currently has some kinks in the cord, we probably will take a heat gun to the cord to try and straighten them out. Overall unsure if we actually like the look but won’t be changing it out because of the time already invested in it. Its definitely a statement piece. Like museum quality. But
