This is a beautiful chandelier that makes a fabulous addition to my dining room. Definitely a statement piece. Assembly took some time....about 2 hours from box to ceiling. The directions are a little hard to follow, but not impossible. My father and husband worked together. I have received numerous comments on how "stunning" and "stylish" the fixture is, and many people are shocked when I tell them it's from Overstock. Definitely recommend!

Once this light is up you'll forget about the process of assembling/ installing it! It's absolutely stunning, and photos here don't do it enough justice! We read the reviews carefully before purchasing, and they were right- there are a few fiddly things you need to do to make the chandelier installation go smoothly. Here are my tips: -I discovered a way to deal with the black electric cord: silver model paint. Get a little brush and vial of Testor or other model paint at your local craft store. A LOT easier and cheaper than replacing it yourself or paying someone else to! Wait until AFTER installation and the cord is woven through the chain. Since the cord is bendable, the paint will flake off if you move it around. Carefully paint the exposed black areas. Voila! -The mounting cup is smaller than most US light electrical boxes. No biggie. Get a ceiling light medallion at your local big box home store. Painters caulk will stick the medallion to the ceiling nicely. I did this myself and completed the installation (after getting the above items) in less than 2 hours. The most time consuming part was attaching all the glass crystals and beads- but even that was kinda fun. You won't regret any of these detours above once you are looking at this amazing chandelier! Good luck.

This is an absolutely beautiful chandelier...BUT....if you purchase this, BEWARE!! I got the chandelier assembled at 11pm before my electrician came at 8am the next day. All the packaging was great and protected the crystals perfectly. Everything looked great prior to install. However, when my electician arrived, he could not install the chandelier. The problems are as follows: 1. The cord for hanging the chandelier is black, not silver, making it UGLY, so it needs to be REWIRED! 2. The chain and cord are way shorter than advertised. 3. The chain is fairly flimsy. 4. MOST IMPORTANTLY, this chandelier is "European" electrically, meaning that the canopy for the light box needs to be Americanized so it can even be hung at all. It has NO brackets to secure it to the ceiling. So, now I have to get the chandelier rewired at a lighting store with 25 foot silver lamp cord instead of the black, buy a new, sturdy longer chain, and get an American canopy and bracket set so the chandelier can be hung and installed. WHAT A PAIN!!!! I have no idea how much MORE this will cost me. Please be advised that this chandelier is high maintenance!!

The fixture should come with a warning that it has a european mount kit - not an american mount kit - so if you're excited to install right away - you'll either need to go out and buy a US mount kit or steal one from the old fixture (which is what we did). Also - the wire is black and should be at least coppery or brushed nickel in color...this is 2013? are there still no more wire choices than black or white? looks gorgeous now its installed in my dining room which I recently repainted to "glam" it up...really works

Nice product BUT before you hire your electrician PLEASE get the shopping list done...it does NOT fit American standard electrical boxes. I hired an electrician to install and he had to run up to HOME DEPOT for the fitting around the electrical opening and the actual brackets to hang the fixture. It is beautiful but buyer beware! This simple job cost me as much as the chandelier to have installed!

This is a gorgeous chandelier and will add just the right amount of contemporary bling to our kitchen and family room renovation. There are four issues I encountered with these chandeliers. 1) The electrical cord that goes through the suspension links to the ceiling is black! Why wouldn't they have used a white, clear or silver cord?! 2) there are small wrinkles on the shade that goes around the chandeliers, but not significant enough to really be noticed if you weren't inspecting it (I'm a perfectionist!). 3) It was a little confusing, while assembling, where to attach the long string of crystals. 4) The plate to cover the whole in the ceiling has a slightly smaller than usually circumference I find. When installing them I needed to run to the hardware store and buy small plaster moldings to put on the ceiling to alleviate the problem (it was a great solution and really actually enhances the look, so ended up being a bonus!). Don't let my following 4 issues with the chandeliers deter you from buying this product, they really are beautiful and have a high-end look... and for the price, you can't beat it! I love them!

Once up this is good value for the money. The piece that attaches to ceiling (cover) was VERY small and didn't cover hole in ceiling. We had to go to Home Depot to get new cover for this. Also, screws were then not long enough. All in all, not an "easy" installation, but once up it looks great.

This is a wonderful chandelier! Looks expensive! We did have to change the ceiling cap to get it be flush to the ceiling and we did not use all of the dangles because we could not figure out all of the parts! But it is truly stunning and money incredibly well spent!

It is big. Bigger than I realized but its fine. This was a great compromise for my husband and me. I want some elegant crystal chandelier. He wanted something more modern. This is the perfect way we met it the middle. It's in our dining room.

The chandelier arrived carefully packaged and on time. It took about 30 minutes to hang the crystals in place. I wasn't sure how to hang the longer strands of crystals because the instructions weren't very detailed, so I just did what I thought looked right. Overall, I am very pleased with this chandelier for the price. I have another very expensive lead crystal chandelier, but I get just as many compliments on this one. When I had this installed, I also had a ceiling medallion put in above it which adds to the overall look. I would also recommend installing a dimmer switch because the ambiance at night is very nice when the light is adjusted down. Overall, it's a great chandelier for the price and I have no hesitations recommending it to others.

This is a very nice light. The color of the shade in the main photo is misleading as you are seeing the yellow from the lights. The shade is white, which you can see in other photos better. This light shows well and has lots of crystals that shine nicely. I cannot review the ease or difficulty of putting it together as my electrician did that. The bracket or piece that covers the electrical box is very small. I have a blue ring around the top of the box due to the extra small size (which is the reason I rated it a 4). I will have to figure out what to do to correct this. Otherwise the quality seems very nice. This is a very pretty light and everyone who has toured the new home has died over this (and other) Overstock lights.

It is so beautiful! We did not get any instructions but we had no issues installing it. It was larger than I thought it would be but it still looks great. The shade is kind of shimery and a little shear. We have it in the dining room. For the price I would buy it again.

Got it for the dining room, and like it overall...but it's a little too large for the room. The fake candles are kind of cheap looking...but the shade covers that. Also, the plate at the top is small, so we had to add a ceiling medallion. Overall we are happy with the product, it's very pretty when lit, or when the sun hits the crystals.

Well I read all the reviews before purchasing and was eagerly awaiting the UPS mans arrival. The box was delivered on time and the chandelier was wrapped extensively! Once pulling off all the bubble wrap and plastic I had to dig back through my pile of garbage to find some crystals that had fallen off. Some crystals come attached and all you really have to place are the strands of crystals that drape from light to light. In the end I gave this light 5 stars even though I had to call to have a crystal piece and screw, that were missing, replaced. Overstock gave me the option to send back the light and get a new one or just have the parts ordered. I chose to order the parts because the light was already put together and it would be more work to just get it back in the box. I will update how overstock handles replacing the missing pieces in the future. I am excitedly stalking my husband around the house, in hopes of expediting the instillation, because it is soooo beautiful even resting on my living room floor!

I have searched for months for the perfect chandelier for my dining room...but the search is finally over! This light is STUNNING! I didn't want to spend over $150 for a chandelier, but decided to splurge and I must say it was worth every penny! It was fairly easy to assemble, but it does take some time. Also the light is a bit heavy so if you are short like me you will need someone to help you hold as you assemble. I would highly recommend this light to anyone who is looking to add a bit of sophistication.
