If you're willing to attach the globe crystals to the string and then attach each string to the light fixture, you end up with a gorgeous pricey looking chandelier. It takes patience and is much easier with 2 people (1 holds the globe, the other opens the metal bracket) and the strand gets attached to the fixture with a small circular key ring type closure which could be tricky if you have large hands. But absolutely stunning. Mine is not totally flush with ceiling, about 1/2 inch space perhaps for heat circulation? Not at all noticeable unless you get on a chair and look. Highly recommended, totally surpassed my expectations 🙂Beautiful patterns bounce on walls and ceiling
