Contemporary Crystal Chandelier Bedroom Light, Drum Chandelier Pendant Light, Flush Mounted Ceiling Chandelier, Modern Ceiling Light Fixture for Dining Room Foyer W18” W13”

This fixture is spectacular. The photos show it with the dimmable LED chandelier bulbs that work beautifully. We replaced an ugly ceiling light with this. Lovely!All of that having been said, holy moly, the installation was a pain! A few thoughts:1. I cannot imagine trying to install this without a helper! You need a second person to hold the plate up near the ceiling while the other does the wiring, and then, when you finally get the plate lined up with the screws on the bracket, you need someone to hold the fixture up and remain motionless while the other person screws the caps on. See below.2. Before starting, do some yoga stretches and, more importantly, deep breathing exercises. Tell your spouse, friend, sibling, or whoever is helping you that you love them very much and that, no matter what happens, you will continue loving them. That way, when you drop and break one of the crystals, you can relax and know that your helper won’t yell at you. And when your helper later drops and breaks another crystal, he also will know that you won’t yell at him. And when your helper super glues one of the two broken crystals so that it looks reasonably presentable, you will thank him, hang the crystal, and be delighted that you soon will not notice that it ever was broken. And when it takes 9 tries to get the bracket and fixture screws lined up, you grunt and laugh together at the absurdity of it all. All because you did your deep breathing and relationship affirmation before you started.3. Be sure to measure the distance between the teensy little screw holes exactly so that installing the fixture on the ceiling has a shot of working on the first or second try. Tighten the screws on the ceiling bracket before attempting to install! It was like Christmas when we got two of them properly lined up—“oooo, we’ve got it!” And then we promptly jiggled it a bit and had to start over. More than once.4. Send your now frustrated helper on an errand while you meticulously and carefully use your fingernail to begin removing the layers of plastic on the beautiful chrome of the fixture. Make a game of trying to pull large pieces off at once. Make another game of counting how many pieces of plastic you end up pulling off. 😀5. Develop a repeatable process for hooking the crystals to the crystal chains. Take your time, and do it over something soft (see above). Line up a neck massage for yourself after hanging the crystals on the fixture, which is now on the ceiling, a fact about which you are absolutely delighted at this point, but which requires you to crane your neck while hooking the crystals to the teensy little loops on the nearly-plastic-free chrome plate. And watch this beautiful light emerge.Totally worth it in the end! Love, love, love this fixture!!

Really love this! I read some reviews about how hard it was to install and we actually didn’t have any issues, or maybe I was just anticipating it to be horrible from all of the scary reviews. It looks great! I was afraid it was too big when we took it out of the box but it’s perfect. Very glad I decided to go for it!

I love the outcome of this light fixture but it is very hard to install. We didn’t get instructions….but if you’re use to putting light fixtures up the wiring wasn’t hard. The white film over the glass is almost impossible to remove be aware there are two layers….I wish they made that easier to remove because you can almost damaged/scratch the mirror if you’re not careful….note to self try removing the film before it’s up on ceiling, believe it or not the crystals was the easiest part of installing but be careful the small loops to attach the crystals are extremely flimsy and can easily break…I broke two and used a paper clip to replace. Overall I love the light fixture and it looks more expensive than I paid but I do feel if I paid more the directions would have been included and the attachments wouldn’t have been flimsy. The price to pay 100$ less than others similar to this fixture.

Great fixture, but this was an absolute nightmare to hang. I’m sure there are plenty of ways to install this that may have been better than our approach, but I see no possible way to get this light fixture up without getting grubby little fingerprints all over this or being stuck with not being able to get all of the protective plastic pieces off. Having said that, this is a beautiful light fixture especially considering the price. I would certainly recommend purchasing this light fixture, but maybe make someone you’re mad at put it up while you’re out of the house.

I love this light! It’s so beautiful, elegant and expensive looking. I gave 4 stars for “easy to install” because mine did not come with directions which made it a little difficult especially when it came down to the crystals because I had to count each one out to know exactly where it was supposed to go. Also the plastic that covers the chrome cover is very difficult to remove and impossible to remove it all. Worth every penny though

This is a gorgeous fixture and we love it however can’t give 5 stars because it was an ALL DAY project to install. It was almost up and the included directions failed to mention the drum needed to be on to put the crystals on so they all had to come off drum installed and start again. Directions were terrible hubby said. Read this review before installing! Otherwise totally worth the money! Looks like a $499 chandelier for 1/5 price

Absolutely LOVE this light fixture! It’s packed very well and the drops are well protected in thick styrofoam. It’s gorgeous and gives off beautiful light. It’s a difficult install as all the glass drops have to be hung on your own and isn’t easy, but totally worth it! There are small hook and eye assembly. Just set aside about 30 minutes to hang the crystal drops.
