It took me a long time before deciding to pull the trigger on purchasing the chandelier, as there were not enough detailed information in the product description and limited number of photos on line. Sadly, when we took the existing chandelier down to install this one, we found that our current structure will not support the weight of this heavier chandelier. So we faced the dilemma of either having to strengthen the support, which means cutting into the ceiling, install a new piece of wood, re-drywall the ceiling, etc. lots of work, or returning. We did not assemble the chandelier, but the individual crystal pieces are very nice. However, the round ring is thin, flimsy and rather cheap looking. It has visible join. I suppose It is expected at this price point.
