Crazy Instructions, crazy parts, no grounding wire, but strangely ends up looking great!
If you order this you had better be handy! Instructions are gobbledygook, unless you understand directions like 'inhale 8mm screw', 'suck in cover' and 'hang on live smallpox'. I kid you not. Yet, we are handy and I dove in. I think our unit had been returned. Some of the crystals were half way assembled and some were loose in the box. The metal has more of an Indian gold finish (somewhat coppery), crystals are good for the price. Since there is no list of parts or decipherable instructions, we figured out how to assemble on our own. CAUTION: These are not US standard parts. The hanging bracket will not fit a standard ceiling box. You will need to go to the hardware store, buy a bracket along with some screws and nuts to adhere to enclosed bracket to the standard bracket. Also, you will have to trim one side of the supplied bracket to allow room for the support screws on the US bracket to bypass the provided bracket. Another problem is the ceiling cover, which is intended to cover the connections and the ceiling box - it is too small for a standard outlet opening! Count on having to fill in and paint the edges of the ceiling opening or buying a ceiling medallion. Now, about the wiring: This fixture has no grounding wire! You will have to provide your own copper wire and wire it from the lights to the ceiling box. Also, the vinyl wrapped copper wire is so thin it is difficult to strip without the fine wires breaking off! The provided wire is only long enough to add about 6" to the hanging length. We added more chain to extend it as much as possible, but we would have preferred it to be longer.All of these problems being revealed to you, we still think it is a great deal once it is assembled and installed. Just prepare yourself and hopefully you have experience installing lighting fixtures. Good luck and don't catch the smallpox!

too short a chain and cord
it's up in the ceiling because the cord and chain are too short to hang above my dining table. S sorry I purchased it, I should have bought a different one with length or don't buy any at all, AN ANGRY AND SAD PURCHASER
