Like everyone has said, this is the hardest light to put up. I worked on hooking the crystal balls while the hubby worked on putting up the light. Took us about 3 hours. He had the hardest time connecting the light to the ceiling as the instructions are non existent! He thinks that the instructions may have been for another light as it doesn't match up with this one. However, perseverance pays off. It really looks lovely in the bedroom with lower ceiling.
