there is a lot of assembly, but it was worth it for the price. the crystals aren't actual crystal and the little hooks that hold them in place seem flimsy, but they hold fine and you can't tell when it's up in the ceiling space. there are a TON of extra parts, and the instructions could be better, I just went by the picture and made up some of the design.

I love the style of this chandelier BUT I was hoping I would have the option to keep the crystals off for a more rustic look. I knew they required some assembly so I figured if I left them off, it would have the look I was going for. Well, the crystals themselves are detachable, but the crystal/glass collar at the top of the fixture is not... nor are the small crystal buttons on the ends of the chandelier arms. I was so bummed- I really wanted to love this fixture but I returned it without even hanging it. If you like the crystal look, this chandelier is a great option for the price point!!!!!

Ok. I am keeping this light and trying to make it work. It has pros and cons. Let me tell you the truth and you can decide if this is the light for you. WHAT IS THIS LIGHT MADE OF? This light is not ALL iron. The orb is. The chandelier parts are steel or tube metal or something. The light comes almost fully assembled. WHAT ABOUT THE CYRSTALS? The crystals are pretty, have a few with scratches, bubbles or other defects but are still pretty. I have plenty left over crystals to choose the best ones since you have one terrible diagram to look at to try to figure out placement of all the crystals. Still not a terriblle situation- I used my creative license and the crystal set up looks really good (and I have plenty of left overs for replacements). The attachments between crystals are the gold color. WHAT IS THE COLOR OF THIS LIGHT? Ok- this is where I am pretty disgusted. The light claimes it is "iron". I (wrongly) assumed an iron finish meant black wrought iron. Maybe it was a little rusty (that would have been great!). But no. The paint is a glossy black paint with glossy bright red speckles. Even the "candles". It is so tacky, so dollar store, so so ugly. (PS I love dollar stores too, so no offense). I tried my best to fix this situation by buying spray paint in rust color and textured. Sprayed the whole light. Only problem is the one glass piece on the light isn't removable. I can see through the glass and notice the horror show paint behind it. I am hoping it isn't too noticable to anyone else. Time will tell if this is a livable situation. OTHERWISE, now that it is a rusty looking light, it looks great, very very basically exact to a light on my favorite "restoration" site. That light cost over $2000.! So this is quite a savings (as long as the terrible original paint doesn't show through the glass). It's a mixed bag- good deal if you want to do the work and you compare the price to that other site, but 250 bucks is an aweful lot of money to spend on a light that you have to fix to make pretty

• How did the color on site compare with the actual product? You can not see the actual color of the light from photos and it calls it "iron" finish
• Please tell us about the quality of the product. Paint color is a nightmare- absolutely the worst and probably cheapest. For goodness sake a can of rust textured and colored spray paint is $5 and that would make a world of difference.

I was looking for an inexpensive chandelier for my dining room. I received it very quickly. Unfortunately, there are these little red specks on top of the black glossy finish, I guess this was for a wrought iron faux finish. It would have looked tacky above my dining room table and visible. If your hanging this up higher, maybe in an entryway it would be fine and look great. For the price you really can't beat it. Wish it would have worked, but I sent it right back.

I drooled over this light for months before I bought it. It kept going in and out of stock. When I would go to buy it, it would be sold out again! Finally I was able to buy it with only four remaining! This light shipped extremely fast and came in very big, well packaged box. I guess I didn't read the dimensions closely because the size of the light surprised me a bit. It was bigger than I expected, but still worked well. You might want to get a tape measure out and double check! : ) I have nine foot ceilings and we just shortened the chain so it looked good in our sitting room. This light is in a room right off my entry way and it gets a lot of attention. The light is bronze with very small reddish flecks. I didn't think it distracted from the beauty. Once its up, its a stunner! The crystals are attached with gold clips. I love gold and bronze, so this worked well for what I had planned. I am very happy with this light and the price. I can't afford the original designer one at almost ten times the price, so this is a great substitute!

• How did the color on site compare with the actual product? It has small reddish fleck that I didn't expect, but it looks fabulous hung. The light is dark Bronze color, not black.

I was drawn to this light immediately due to the unique design for my entry foyer. The iron is strong, but not super heavy. Color of the light is closer to black than antique bronze. Beware that there is a lot of assembly with the crystals and there are confusing directions on how to string the crystals. In the end, I winged it and used my own design. The crystals are NOT Swarworski and the wire holding crystals together is gold and pretty flimsy, but when the light is hanging is it beautiful and no one is the wiser. Many. many compliments and 90% cheaper than the original "Foucault's orb" at a major design retailer. Great job again Overstock!

I was so excited to put this chandelier in my two-story foyer, however, I am disappointed because the chain is not as long as the old chandelier. Therefore, the chandelier is about 18in too short and does not hang to the center of the window. I did not realize this was an issue until the electrician showed up and pointed it out to me. He said the chandelier would have to be completely re-wired to add a longer chain. I had him hang it anyway because I would have had to pay a trip charge since he had already taken the old one down and this is a two man job. (I was told this by another electrician I got an estimate from, also.) The electrician said chandeliers are usually sent with a really long chain so they can adjust it if necessary. In addition, one of the glass cups was broken when we started unwrapping everything so I called the 1-800 # on the box for replacement parts. The person who answered the phone was very short and abrupt and only asked me for my name and zip code. I am wondering how she will know the information to send me the replacement part, but we shall see. I will give it a few days but I am not optimistic. Also, i did take the chandelier out of the box when I received it but it never occurred to me that the chain was too short.

Very pretty chandelier at an amazing price! Crystal assembly could use better instructions, but it comes with so many pieces that you can tweak it here and there. I even removed some since it was sparkly enough without them. Definitely is a wrought iron paint look with rust specks but still looks beautiful. So much cheaper then any other orb chandelier on the market!

It's a great light fixture, and I've seen at other stores for A LOT more $$!. I'm not sure why the manufacturer paints it they way they do. It cheapens the look of the fixture. but it's an easy fix! One can of Rustoleum rubbed bronze spray paint makes it look like those other stores fixtures at 1/4 the price. P.S. Overstock please send this review to the manufacturer!!!

I would have overlooked the "GLOSS" paint, I could have overlooked the massive assembly required, Unfortunately there was not enough wire to hang lamp over dining room table from 11' ceiling I sent it back

I fell in love with a similar chandelier but it was about 10x the price, way out of my budget. I was determined to find the look for less. I couldn't believe how much this chandelier looks like the expensive one. I was a little nervous with the purchase, not sure on the quality but was pleasantly surprised when the chandelier arrived! It was much larger than I thought but its the perfect scale for my dining room which had 9' ceilings. There was more than enough wire/chain to hang it at an appropriate height from the table. It was a little challenging hanging all the crystals (which I am not sure are real but look great). The instructions were difficult to understand, I used the picture online for a guide. I love the way it looks and gives the room a lot of light!

Although I was hesitant to order this light due to some of the previous reviews, I could never get it out of my mind! I love that it's unique and not like every other dining room chandelier. I was very pleased with the quality and have received many compliments on it. I will say it did take a little while to put together; however my brother-in-law is blessed with his construction talents so it only took about an hr to attach all the crystals and to hang it. There were several crystals left over incase we need to replace a few down the road. I would HIGHLY recommend this light to anyone who wants a unique piece - I love it!

Great light for the price! Original designer one cost way too much, and this is a great alternative. The instructions for the crystal hanging are very bad. I had to freestyle it and looked at the picture online. In the end it looks great! The crystals are not real crystal, I believe they are acrylic. I've gotten so many compliments on it so far! I have it in my foyer/entry way. Makes a nice statement!

It is absolutely gorgeous. for the price. Now the picture/instructions on how to do the crystals is not the easiest to figure out but you will after a little while of figuring it out. Instead of paying the full price of the one from **** this looks just as beautiful .I can't wait to hang it in the space it is intended for.

We love the fixture....not much in the directions as to how to hang the crystal but we used the photo to figure it out and they were very generous on extra pieces in case you lose one or one breaks. We weren't sure how much light it would emit but we were very pleased with the brightness of it.

In the last 6 months I have purchased 33 lighting fixtures (indoor and outdoor) for a large remodel on a newly purchased home! Some were very old fixtures from antiques stores and warehouses and some from trendy brand name stores. This orb was one of the last lighting pieces we needed. I already had a large plain orb (no crystals) hanging from the ceiling on the stairs leading to my master area. And I wanted an orb with crystals for my master bath. I really took a chance on this one as I wanted sparkle and the orb look, and the price at retail stores was outrageous. I was totally prepared to return this chandelier. Surprise, it was beautiful... really makes a statement! Even though I love all my new lighting I think I could have saved a lot of money shopping here first.
