Ohhhhkay. So heres what you need to know about this light fixture. See how mine looks a little different than the photo Ya. The reason for that is because this thing arrives in a tangled mess. It is up to you to first detangle it (with no direction or instruction as to how) and THEN adjust the length of every single string to kinda sorta get a little close to the configuration in the picture or just give up and try to find anything that looks close to ok. We had to get out an A frame ladder as a stand of sorts so that we had room to work on it for a good hour. Was probably an hour and a half before the thing was actually hanging from my ceiling. I had read the other comments before buying it, but I thought ehh, itll be ok. IT WAS NOT OKAY. My husband and I are massive DIYers. In fact we remodeled an entire house just the two of us and made it out of that without a scratch, but this project had us fighting before the end of it. Its a 300, bulky, heavy, brain-teasing puzzle!
But then... But then we had it up and I pretty much fell in love. Its a piece of art and is the main focal point in my open concept living area. The lights are very bright which also makes it super functional. Personally, I would do it again even after the initial anguish, but that is for you to decide for yourself!
Pro tip If you push up on where the strings hang from the top piece, you can then pull the string down and make it longer again. Took us forever to figure out how to adjust in that direction.
