Overall for the cost compared to local options I have no complaints. Could the crystals have been polished better? Could the clips for the strands have been more sophisticated? Sure, and you could have paid a lot more. Polish them as you go (I did) and that extra hour or two you spend is still money saved. A similar big box store fixture is easily four times the cost.
Overall this was a decent purchase. The package contents were well labeled. Each crystal strand was in a reusable, numbered, plastic bag. If mounting to a flat ceiling, this is a breeze to install. Unfortunately I had to make it more challenging with a sloped ceiling.
Once its up, you get this tremendous feeling of euphoria that it is behind you. Is it worth the anxiety of getting it up, probably for most people but would be very frustrating for others.
The assembled chandelier is simply beautiful! The crystals capture and reflect light quite brilliantly. It has a simple elegance that will tie things nicely as we add modern updates to our colonial style home.
Assembly - Patience is key and an extra pair of hands is helpful. The instructions are straightforward but do understand that this light fixture is more elaborate than most.
Value for the money - If this falls within your style and taste you won't be disappointed. Great bang for your buck.
There is no doubt that this light is breathing-taking beautiful. It is defiantly worth the efforts and money for this chandelier, especially you have a high ceiling foyer.
I did my homework to read some very detailed reviews provided here. Thank you very much!!! We hire a handy man, go over the installation and the tedious hanging process with him prior starting on the work. The work is accomplished after ~3.5 hours.
Hope this helps anyone, who is interested of purchasing the product in the future.
