The other reviewers are right - manufacturer directions included are less than helpful. My assembly tip - attach the 22 strands to the center circle BEFORE you put the "arms" of the lamp on.  It is too hard to reach between the arms and place them.  The directions do not tell you to swoop the crystal chains from one arm to the next - keep the pic from the website for help.

Pros: So very pretty - my daughter loves it for her room.  
Cons: Directions lack detail.
