Do NOT buy this light unless you have great patience! It really takes 2 people to get all the strands installed - one to open the hinge and one to insert the glass ball. There are tiny holes to place each strand in. We found it easier to remove the cotter pins (there are 40!) put them on the strand and then insert them into the hole. Definitely a job for a mellennial with young eyes! But once it's up its super cute. Of course we haven't seen it on yet because it light bulbs are not included like they are in the light I purchased from Living Spaces.
