This chandelier adds just the right amount of pizazz to my master closet. It comes very well packed and most of the crystals are already attached. I suggest adding the 8 or so crystals prior to hanging the fixture. I had an electrician install the light for me and he had a very difficult time fitting his hands through the fixture to tighten the ceiling screws. Needless to say, he was not as enamored with the light as I. Installation of the light bulbs are a tight fit even for a womans smaller hand. I elected to use the brighter 'day light' bulbs based on other people's comments and find that the amount of light provided works well. The only con is that I now want to upgrade my closet system!
