Beautiful. Was worried by all the reviews re: set-up, but very easy assembly of lamp base and nicely packaged. All crystals were per strung, nicely wrapped and protected from breakage and labeled by number making it easy to attach the crystal strands to the lamp shade top. Directions provided. There are several large diamond crystals each individually packaged that get added to several of the strands ....adding the "WOW" factor. Lovely, elegant lamp. I would suggest/recommend you pre-string the crystal strands starting with the inner layer (3,4,5) than move outward (1,2). Lamp takes max of 3- 60W Candelabra Base Bulbs, but I ended up using 3- 25W, 250 Lumens as the 3-60W (Comfortable Inviting Light 521-1049 Lumens) was simply to bright for my tastes. Bulbs not incl. Very happy with my lamp purchase.
