Chrome Crystal Chandelier

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!

We purchased this chandelier for our daughter's nursery and it is PERFECT! It is a small chandelier, so if you are looking for something for a dining room or to make a grand statement, this is not it. This chandelier is dainty and and perfect for a nursery, kids room, or hallway. The crystals give off an amazing sparkle when you use a high watt CLEAR ceiling fan light bulb (we used a clear halogen bulb). You do have to hang the crystals yourself, but it's pretty easy. Wiring was simple and it took about an 1.5 hours to completely install.

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.

I have not yet put the chandelier up, but I did hang the crystals. It's not as hard to put on the crystals as others claimed. I suggest starting with the straight ones in the center and then work from the bottom up. Now...the large round crystal and the long single crystals are glass...nice, but the ones on strands are not. It still looks really pretty. Got it for my bathroom and I'm sure it will make a statement. Very elegant. So if a little sparkle is what you want...this is perfect. The chrome is nice and shiny... if you have chrome hardware, this will work perfectly. Only reason I'm giving it 4 stars is not because of the way it looks, but if you have little patience for hanging the crystals...the instructions are gonna be little help. I have chandeliers in almost every room in the house...so I very familiar with crystal hanging. Just get someone to help you and it wont be to frustrating.

I debated for months whether or not to purchase this chandelier because of the reviews stating the chandelier had fleur de lis but finally purchased it because no one recently had mentioned it. So I had hoped they were not there (the reviews implied they were in the crystals). A call to customer service resulted in the agent simply reading the same description to me that I was already reading on the site, that WAS a disappointment as I do not feel that was customer service at all. The crystals themselves are VERY pretty and was easy enough to assemble. I DO love the chandelier however, I am only giving it a 4 star rating because the fleur de lis are on the chrome chandelier itself where the long straight crystals hang from! If I remove the fleur de lis, the straight crystals wont hang straight and it is such a nice shiny chrome, I dont believe I could match it to anything else. The chrome does not look cheap as one review stated. I hope I can get the round flower-like parts (that are on the top and bottom two layers) in a larger size that could be swapped out as they are screwed in, and they are easily removable. If I can get those, I am buying another! If I can't, at least it will hang high enough where they wont be at eye level, so I am hoping to overcome that and maybe a second one could still be an option for me. I LOVE everything else about the chandelier, I am just not a fan of the fleur de lis (personal taste) and they are not visable in the picture nor are they mentioned in the description. It is great that extra parts also come with it, though I didn't need any, but who knows what the future holds? I DO still love Overstock and have already received several compliments on this!

This chandelier is absolutely beautiful. Pictures do not do it justice! You need to have patience when assembling the product but the finished product is well worth it. It gives off amble lighting when using a 60 watt clear crystal light bulb. I am very, very pleased. You will be too!

We used in our daughter's room to add sparkle. Our 9 yr old assembled it herself. It is not high quality but for the price it was what we wanted. We like the crystals around the light bulb. We used a GE 43-Watt Medium Base (E-26) Soft White Dimmable Decorative Incandescent Light Bulb Model # 78588 from big box store and it makes the fixture sparkle even more.

I am very pleased with this product. I saw this exact fixture same fluer de lis details, same crystal structure, etc. at a local *** store for $419. The directions that a company the fixture are vague from installation to attaching the crystals - it makes you work at installation but it is worth the trouble. The amount of light the chandelier reflects is not very bright so don't put it somewhere you need a lot of light. I live in a 1950s cottage so the style fits perfectly in my foyer - where not a lot of light is required. I would commend this product, it is a great value for the quality of product.

It's true what the other reviewers are saying about the directions, or more lack thereof. But thanks to the people who have listed instructions in their review, putting up my chandelier was no problem at all. I actually thought from the page description that I was going to have to take the chandelier to a professional to have wires installed but that turned out not to be the case and I was very happy about it. We hung up the chandelier and I put all the crystals on before we cut the cord the the length we needed. That seemed to be the easiest way to have the chandelier hanging but I didn't have to have my arms over my head trying to attach all the crystals. Once I laid them all out in groups it took maybe 40 minutes to hang them all. The dimension description was accurate and the chandelier is on the smaller side but I thought it was a perfect fit for my dining room that is about 12' x 12'. It completely changed the look of the room and I absolutely love it!

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.

This looks great! it is on the small side. I am using it for a 13x13 bedroom and still looks fine. very elegant, fantastic product for the price.

I purchased this for my daughters bedroom, it needs to be assembled, which takes about 35 minutes, but it is perfect for a teens bedroom, when the light is on the crystals shimmer on her walls, beautiful.

I bought 2 of these for my walk-in closet and LOVE them! You will not be disappointed, although whoever installs these (a husband) will need at least an hour. Then, crank up some music and start hanging the crystals. You will need at least an hour per chandalier to hang the crystals, but it is totally worth it when you finish! Whether you hang it in a bathroom, closet, small hallway, or even in a small nursery, you will love this piece. I've seen the exact same ones sell on Neiman Marcus or other web sites for $200+ each. Do keep in mind they won't emit a TON of light, but the crystals sparkle and reflect a lot more than you'd think. Obviously, I need to see things in my closet and how I look in the mirror, and 2 of these does the trick.

It is small so I would recommend this for a girl's room or a bathroom. I bought it for a girl's room and it looks great. It took me over an hour to put all the crystals on. It's not difficult just a little time consuming. Great look for the price. Very happy!

This fixture is a WOW. It fits my small foyer perfectly. glittery, but not over the top....in fact it was delivered today, I assembled it today and am so happy with the result I am ordering TWO more! One for the master bath and one for the master closet (two different areas).The one I bought last week and the two I ordered today costs LESS in total then what I planned to spend for the one I had my eye on in a lighting store, and truthfully, after putting it together, I like this one a whole lot better. Also takes one regular bulb;use a clear bulb it throws rainbows. One last thought, I read through all the reviews cause I have a hard ime buying without seeing it in person...some reviews mentioned plastic beads, NO PLASTIC!, all glass, beautiful glass quality, too.

Very pretty over my master bath. Love it!

This chandelier is perfect in our small powder room! It really dressed up the room and made it very special! Great addition to a smaller room!

Overdue review! This chandelier was purchased for my daughters room. It is very nice and was easy to install.

I seen this chandelier before in person is absolutely stunning especially for the price you can not beat that. I would recommend it to a friend my friend recommended it to me the only reason I bought it was because I seen it in person.

Such of beautiful chandelier it has that stunning and gorgeous looking, can’t wait to see how it would look on my breakfast area. I almost forgot to mention the great price, and rewards if you have the overstock membership.

There's not really any color on this item, but the chrome was already starting to discolor in places when it arrived to me - you know, kind of turning that yellowish bronzeish kind of color... I went ahead and kept it and am just hoping that it doesn't get any worse. I'm afraid that with time it will start to bronze even more and look really cheap. We'll see. Update completely rusted out - crystal still looks beautiful but chrome is cheap and junky. Would not recommend.

Very small and looks cheap

This is such fun pretty chandelier. I love it!

Ok, very small, great for a little dining area.

LOVE this chandelier. Note that it is not a large piece, so it is better as an accent in a small place (bathroom, bedroom) rather than as a central piece above a large table. It is very sparkly, was easy to put together and was the perfect accent to my bedroom. Highly recommend for a little extra bling!
