Instead of complaining about the way this chandelier arrived (which I really want to do), I've decided to try and be helpful. It seems that the reason it is so reasonably priced is because they saved a boatload on assembly and instruction manuals. In that it isn't assembled and there is no manual. FIRST TIP- assemble the chandelier before you hang it! Take out all of the crystal strands and sort them into 4 piles: Strands with 4 crystals Strands with 5 crystals and rings on both ends Strands with 5 crystals with a ring on one end only Strands with 8 crystals The 5 crystals with only one ring go in the center of the chandelier (around the light bulb). The 4 crystal strand swag from the top, 8 crystal strands swag from 2 middle levels, 5 crystal strand with 2 rings swag from bottom of chandelier. Figuring this out took a painful amount of time and the assembly is tedious, but went much quicker on the 2nd one (I bought 2). Do not buy this chandy if you have arthritis and no one to assemble it for you. You know how hard it is to get a new key on a keyring? That is how each strand is assembled here. It is a pretty chandelier for the price but I would hesitate to recommend it. I'm a chandelier junkie and have never seen one that needed this level of assembly. Maybe if I was prepared and there were instructions I would feel differently. Hope this helps!
This looks a lot better in person than it does in the picture on overstock.com. It looks giganto in the pics, but it's actually really petite and pretty. Yes, assembly is a little bit of a pain. The 22 links of 5 crystals go in the center hanging straight down. The links of 4 crystals go around the top, the links of 8 crystals go in the 2nd and 3rd rows, and the links of 5 crystals go on the bottom row. The long crystals hang from the fleur de lis, and the large ball goes at the bottom obviously. Now I feel I have done my service to humanity. :) Very nice sparkly addition to any room!
I put this chandelier in my small (4x4) vestibule, painted the walls black and the trim white, and it looks amazing! Very elegant. It took me a while to put this together as it did not come with directions, but studying the photograph here was a big help. Definitely lay all the crystals out and group them before you get started, it will save you a lot of time and trouble. The quality of construction is OK; I'm not worried about it falling apart or anything, and chances are no one is going to be inspecting it that closely anyway. I couldn't be more pleased with this light, especially for the price. A note about the bulb: I first used a regular white bulb but didn't like how visible it was. I thought a small, round clear one might be kind of neat, and the difference is unbelievable! It sparkles SO much more with the clear bulb, and the clear bulb kind of disappears to let you see just the fixture.
This compact but big-impact chandelier brightened up my entry hall perfectly. I was looking for chic sparkle that wasn't over-the-top and I got it at a great price. You'll receive the chrome frame with links of crystals in separate bags. Once you get the hang of attaching the links to the frame it's a piece of cake, but will take about 45 minutes. Installation is standard fixture replacement, all the parts you need are included (except the electrical engineer dad I had to speed the process). The dangling crystal ball is mesmerizing. These are actual crystals, not plastic, and they'll really sparkle in the light.
It looks great over the mastrer bath and is just what my wife wanted - not overly fancy, but neat. Putting it together took a bit of time for a guy with large thumbs and fingers, but I didn't have anything else to do anyway. For the money a great buy.
I bought this light for my son's bedroom when he complained that everyone had rainbows in their rooms except for him. It added just the right touch of sparkle and elegance without looking cheap or overbearing. It helped to print out a picture of the fixture to follow along with the instructions. It also helped to put on the strings of crystals before hanging the light and then add the dangling crystals afterwards. The picture on Overstock truly does not do this chandelier justice. There are crown and fleur de lis details that made this one of the most beautiful light fixtures I've ever bought! It was the perfect royal touch for my Little Prince.
I wanted to take the time to write this review for anyone who is hesitant on purchasing this chandelier and say "go for it!" I ordered it after reading the many positive reviews, and although I also had a bit of difficulty installing it (by myself w/o any help from my DH ;) it was the piece de resistance of my daughter's surprise bedroom redo. It was the first thing that caught her eye on the presentation and let me tell you, she was thrilled!! ...it is absolutely stunning and much nicer than anything I've seen in the typical home improvement stores? I am in the process of redoing my other daughters bedroom this time and of course one of her requests is a cool new light fixture like her sisters...although not the exact same! I've got another beauty from O on order.
We just moved to our first home. I bought this chandelier for my daughters room. It was easy to assemble. My husband is very handy and had it hung in no time. When I painted her room pink and a pinkish white I added glitter to the paint. When the Chandelier is on it just adds to how beautiful the room is. My husband put a dimmer on it when in use. So she can enjoy it while watching her movies or just hanging out. Looks just like the picture.
My closet is now a little piece of heaven! This is so pretty!
This is a small decorative accent piece. We purchased for teenage girls room and it was a great purchase.
