Full disclosure, I did return this light but only because I knew it was risky to begin with in terms of fitting the space I needed it for. The style just didn't look right, even though I loved the light. I was pleasantly surprised at the quality of craftmanship. It does take a bit of effort and patience to get all of the pieces put together and aligned. There are also a lot of wires due to each stem having its own lighting, but there is a handy gadget you connect each piece into that does make the wiring fairly easy for anyone to handle. The globes are a surprisingly heafty glass globe that screw on easily and securely. Overall, my fears the chandelier would look somewhat cheap were squashed. The overall look did appear like a solid, good quality, modern approach to a Chandelier. Having said that, despite me hoping it would be a nice contrast, our house is a more square contemporary aesthetic, and the chandelier just looked a little out of place. That's no fault to the light, just a risky choice that didn't pan out. I'm only giving this 4 stars because of the effort in putting it all together. It's not hard, there's just a lot to work through.
