Some things I wish I had known the matte black option is speckled! Teeny tiny white speckles. It is not easy to assemble! The instructions are very vague and complicated but doable. There were moments when I almost gave up, but the finished product is lovely. Be careful what kind of light bulbs you get if it’s going in a smaller roomspace. I have to return the original bulbs I purchased for this chandelier for dimmer ones. - something I never thought I would say! Overall 45
