This chandelier is gorgeous! A few tips for assembling it. First, get an over-the-door clothes hanger and use the security wire and hang the chandelier on it before assembling. Second, attach the arms but do not fully tighten them until you thread the crystals. It helps to move the arms around. Third, start from the inside to the outside to thread the crystals. Fourth, hang the chandelier, then tighten the arms--be careful not to strip the screws...just tighten enough to catch, then attach the base. The chandelier is heavy, so it's almost impossible to assemble and thread the crystals if it is laying down on something instead of hanging. The crystals will break off from the weight. Thought I would pass on these tips for an easier installation. It is really, really gorgeous. You will love the end result.
Just wanted to give the people that are comparing this chandelier to an almost identical one at a high end store a tip. I read all the reviews and didn't want to deal with all the crystal assembly needed for this product so instead ponied up the money at the other store. To my dismay...that one needed 2hrs of assembly too. It's just that those crystals screwed in...but there were still a lot & I broke 5 in the process. So just saying, don't let the time you have to put into it effect your decision, as I learned...there is no getting out of it it.
Love, love that Overstock had this chandelier...it is almost identical to the one in the national, much higher priced store/catalog. Assembly was NOT fun but well worth it as all others mentioned. I also spray painted the candle covers...the color was not so nice. Sets off my rustic table and chairs just like the pix in that catalog we all love to look at but can't always afford. THanks Overstock!!! Be ready though...you may need help assembling...you have to completely put the thing together...including some wiring...not just the crystals...and the directions for them is so small, you can't see it...have a set of wrenches and pliers and wire strippers ready for the delivery day.
I saw a similar light in a large chain store's catalogue and could not justify the price with my limited income. It was so exciting to find this on Overstock.com. In redoing my dining room, I wanted something "out of the normal". This is the perfect light fixture for my room because it adds a touch of bling and nature with the shape of the crystals. I added a dimmer switch and the effect is perfect. The diagram shows that the arms are to be attached once the chandelier is hung and then add the crystals. I added the crystals prior to the installation and highly recommend doing the attachment prior to hanging the light. A good pair of needle nose pliers is essential!!! A few of the holes were not completely punched but a sharp nail did the trick in popping out the excess metal. My fingers are a little sore from trying to align the pins with the two holes and the crystal but it is worth the temporary pain when you see the fixture completed. The plastic candle covers were a bit too gold...they look like the picture...but were too gold for the latte colored walls in my dining room. A quick application of cream paint to match the ceiling was the answer. I am so impressed with this light that I am ordering the 3-light fixture in the same style for the foyer. The light was securely packed, all parts were included, there was no breakage, and was shipped right away. I highly recommend this fixture for the WOW factor to your room or entry.
We are building a new home and put this in our living room. It is beautiful and complements almost any style. It is almost identical to one for twice the price at another national retailer, maybe a tad bit smaller. One thing to note is that although another review mentioned the cord being white, they must have fixed that because mine matches perfectly! I wish it was a tad bit larger, but overall it's a great light and you can't beat the price!
this chandelier is breathtaking! It is a beautiful transitional piece and is rustic and elegant at the same time. I was looking for something for over our dining room table up north and this was perfect! It really is beautiful in person. The crystals add such an elegant touch and I love the yellow in the candle sticks. I was a bit frustrated having to put all of the crystals on myself though, if you order it make sure you have, or know someone with a lot of patience! Over all would give this chandelier very high marks for looks and quality.
Love this, kept looking and rationalizing. Glad I bought it.. Read previous reviews which helped us put it together. Only took a couple of hours. It was well worth it. Over dining table with a dimmer. Perfect lighting.
I didn't want a chandelier that was too formal as I have a Rattan dining room set where I wanted to place it. It fit perfectly with the decor. However in the assembly of the "acrylic" crystals, the petals where they are inserted had to be opened with a needle nose plier and then the instructions were not very clear so I had to contact the shipper for information. You place the included small wire through the crystal and petals, so you have to have patience in doing this step...As other reviews stated, don't hang the chandelier before you have the crystals installed as it would not be fun to do this after the fact. I also had to repaint the candle holders as the color was much too orange. This was easy to do with some hobby paint (which comes in small plastic bottles). The Handyman who installed this could't believe it was not assembled better when he saw what I had to do prior to the installation. However, it now hangs and I am happy with it. The only remaining question I may eventually have to face is that the small wires used may rust as they are not stainless (I live in Florida).
I received this chandelier very quickly, it is pretty much the exact same fixture I saw in somewhere else for less than half the price. I did come in hundreds of pieces but I enjoyed putting all the crystals on. Overall a beautiful chandelier for a great price, I haven't installed it yet but it seems pretty simple. I highly recommended this fixture for someone looking for a chandelier in the country rustic style.
The chandelier is not hard to assemble. I darkened the finish with oil-rubbed bronze spray paint and also lightened the candle holders to an ivory colour. I also had to replace the chain/wire with longer ones to accommodate out 14 ft ceiling...this was also easy. It looks great and has gotten many compliments!
