I am in love with this chandelier. It looks amazing in my vaulted ceiling dining room over the table. The pictures don’t do it justice! Maybe I missed it on the description when I ordered but this light does require quite a bit of assembly. It isn’t hard but it is sort of time consuming to screw each individual crystal cluster into a metal rod then screw the two pieces into the center of the chandelier. Then you have to cut a zip tie off of every single crystal cluster. (There’s probably 100 of them.) Then it all springs open and the whole thing looks gorgeous. But Geeze. It was a lot to do (and I have small kids that were mesmerized and constantly after all the parts that look like crystal magic wands). EITHER WAY - I love this light. It was worth the hassle of assembly. We had an electrician install it and I couldn’t be happier!
