Beautifully made and very solid. Requires full assembly and maybe worth frustration for the end result. Problems were with assembly of the fixture itself. The distressing of fixture is painted plaster. While it is beautiful, it isn’t functional for assembly or installation. It made a mess all over our floor as it flakes off, and we had to drill through the plaster that covered the screw holes. Of all the fixtures we’ve purchased, this made the biggest mess and was the worst to assemble, and we’ve purchased several. Still, it is lovely.
