I absolutely love this chandelier. It was not difficult to put together at all. It is stunning when hanging; elegant yet whimsical. It looks lovely with my Ethan Allen cherry dining set. It is smaller than you might imagine when looking at the picture, but was the perfect size in my room, which is approximately 11' x 14'. My ceilings are around 7 feet so we only used about 4 links of the chain plus the clip. No parts were missing, and they all fit together with ease (the wires did need shortened to fit properly under the caps). There were even extra crystals included, which is wonderful in case any break. We hung the chandelier first, then put on the crystals. I am using 25 watt bulbs and there is plenty of light. I almost ordered the one from the "other store" but decided to take a chance on this and am so glad I did. I am thrilled with the quality and look of this. I highly recommend this item.
