This light really wasn't hard to assemble; the directions are clear and there is an informative video on You Tube with a person demonstrating the assembly. But I had trouble keeping all the arms straight. I somehow crossed a couple and had to take off the nuts and try again. If you are assembling this one by yourself, you might consider taking a piece of tape and numbering the hole and a corresponding number on each arm of the light fixture. Matching the numbers will make things go quickly and accurately. I love this chandelier because it is dressy but not too formal. I used light bulbs equivalent to 15watts, and with eight receptacles, it makes plenty of light. It's relaxing, not fussy.

I absolutely love the look of this chandelier. It has a classic style that feels elegant without being overly formal, which is exactly what I was hoping for. The bronze style finish and curved arms give it a traditional feel, and the frosted glass shades soften the light nicely so the room will feel warm and inviting instead of harsh. I am currently in the middle of painting my dining room, so I haven’t hung it yet, but I did take it out of the box to look it over and the quality feels great. It looks sturdy and well made, and everything was packaged very securely when it arrived. Once the painting is finished, this will be going right over my dining table and I can already tell it’s going to elevate the whole space. It looks even better in person than it did online, and I’m really excited to see it installed. Overall, this seems like a beautiful fixture that feels much more expensive than it actually is.

I like the light but I was charged twice to clear customs before delivery!

Who is chandelier is beautiful and gets off a warm, elegant glow. It is dimmable as well and really makes the room have a beautiful ambience. It has two slightly crooked spots, but they’re minor and hopefully no one notices. I feel like it’s well worth the five stars however it took three hours to put together not for the electrician to hang it just to put it together. It has a lot of parts. But I think it’s well worth it in the end.

The shipping had me worried. When it was delivered the box was practically falling apart, but everything inside was so well wrapped nothing was broken. After assembling the fixture it was the perfect size, and gives off plenty of light for my dining room that doesn’t have any windows.
