We have a very similar chandelier in our current home. Wanting to replicate it in our next one, I ordered this. Whereas the original chandelier arrived fully assembled, this one needs to be put together. That seems to be the norm with many light fixtures these days, in order to save money on shipping, space and packaging materials, I imagine. It was well-packaged and will be easy to move with us in its current packaging, so thats good. Shouldnt be hard to assemble once we arrive, and it will look just as nice as the one Ill be leaving behind!

This chandelier is very elegant. I love how it suits our french country style house. We put it over our dinning table and it instantly brightened up the space. The perfect amount of light I need. I also added some crystals that I got from wayfair for 15. It was easy so easy to hang it up. I love our new chandelier. I highly recommend it.
