Review on SM Saint Mossi Modern K9 Crystal Spral Raindrop Chandelier Lighting Flush Mount Crystal Chandeliers, Crystal Light Fixture, 8 GU10 Bulbs Required D24 X H69 by Kyam Deriphonse

Looks great. Assembling is like herding cats. that are on fire.

This thing is absolutely beautiful when finally assembled and lit. It is pretty awesome when not lit and sun strikes it.It is also a total PITA to assemble. 60 individual strands of crystal, which all need the large end crystal attached and then handed one by one up the ladder to someone to attach in a spiral from the inside out, each strand slightly shorter then the previous with no numbers or marks on the hangars.You need to make sure you get the first strand on the furthest in hook, and hold the instructions up to visualize the pattern. And be patient. Maybe have a beer to de-stress partway through. And maybe another after realizing the little bottom clips can get hung up just enough to make you doubt they are numbered correctly and switch them back and forth a few times to check before noticing.Also. do not use their hardware to hang it. This is 27 pounds of light that will make a sound both wonderful and terrifying should it pull free and plunge to the hard floor. Like a crystal bull charging through a crystal orphanage. Use real hardware, something like https://www.amazon.com/Self-drilling-Toggle-Drywall-Anchors-Screws/dp/B016TYQXGU/ref=sr_1_7?s=hi&ie=UTF8&qid=1508350918&sr=1-7&keywords=drywall+toggle+boltsThe shiny plate with hooks has holes for GU10 bulbs. skinny non-LED bulbs apparently, as I had to spend a while with a dremel to enlarge them to fit the 75w equivalent bulbs I ordered with the light: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01MY53Z0U/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1Hang the base plate first, and wire it up. Use every mounting hole. Then attach the shiny plate BEFORE installing the bulbs. Then do the bulbs. Then start hanging the strands. and keep hanging them. still hanging them. and finally done. Fire that sucker up and admire your work. Then realize you will have to dust the thing eventually. beer time.
