What a stunning chandelier! I chose the gold finish with bright white bulbs which I highly recommend. If you use an antique amber bulb the chandelier looks dated and appears to be “glowing” like the sun which is not appealing. My husband and I installed it which I DO NOT RECOMMEND- let’s just say there were many fights and it took over an hour. The chandelier is heavy and made well. My only complaint is that the (4) “arms” which connect the chandelier base to the mounting base kept coming unhooked which makes installation difficult since the chandelier would fall apart. I personally would have liked to see those “lock” in place which would have made a world of difference. Other then that- the glass pieces were easy to install just time consuming. The packaging was fantastic .
