Crystorama Lighting Group 609 Rylee 8 Light 25" Wide Beaded Empire Chandelier - White

This is a very beautiful chandelier! I really love the look of this light. It dressed up my entrance way with an elegant touch. To me this is important when you enter a home to set the right look and feel for the rest of your home. It is beautiful in my entrance. I centered it in the huge window above the front door because it can be seen from the street. Even with all the effort to assemble this light and hang it, I love it and am very glad I bought it. If you do not want to mess with assembling this light, then look for something less time consuming. I think there are 160 strands. It took me several days, about 3-4 hours/day, to attach all the strands. In order to make sure they did not fall off, I used plyers to tightly pull the short piece of wire through each small hole and twist it tightly around the top edge of the strand. I also super glued the top and bottom wire of each strand to make sure it would not detach once hung. I had to do this because it would be approximately 16 feet high. A normal length ladder won't work to reach it. I am a bit concerned when it's time to change a bulb, but I will deal with that when it happens..
