This is a stunning chandelier used to upgrade the tacky light put up by the homebuilder. I wanted to remain with a flush mount to "split the difference" between my style and my husband's no nonsense approach to decor. I used clear LED bulbs which makes this fixture even more vibrant. Once the first 5 or 6 crystals were attached, installation was a breeze. 30 minutes for attaching the large diamond-shaped crystals to the strings of crystals, 30 minutes for the wiring and mounting the base to the ceiling, 30 minutes to attach the crystals to the base. Simple 1-2-3 instructions included.
