This is nice enough, but nothing spectacular. I placed it in a closet, and as my ceilings are very high, it's actually quite difficult to even see the crystal details. With regard to assembly, I agree with previous reviewers who mention that it can be a hassle: the key problem is maneuvering the glass panel inserts into the fixture. One trick is to unscrew the finials and take the piece apart so that you are not constantly running into obstacles as you try to get the glass in.
