Rectangular Wave Crystal Chandelier

Installed this chandelier in place of a recessed light. Looks great and best bang for the buck. No questions. There should have been a template to drill holes on the ceiling included with the chandelier. It is difficult to hold the base and mark places to drill to put screw anchors, unless you have someone else to hold it for you. I got a piece of paper cut to the exact size of the base and marked the holes for the screws, used the template to mark the holes on the ceiling and then drilled the holes with a 1/8” drill bit. Of course, you have to align the template to your desired position first. After making electrical wire connections, installing the base was not that difficult. Before you start hanging the crystal strands, make sure to separate them into piles by the numbers 1 through 8. Also identify the crystal strands marked with a something like double arrow in the #3 and #6 (2 each) and #8 (1 stand). They have split “Y” shape wires to go on each side of the bulbs. After peeling the protective sheath, install the cover plate using the screws. Don’t install the bulbs yet. Start installing the strands from one end (five #1 strands). After you install the split-wire strand on #3 position, install the first bulb. Continue the process until you install all 80 strands and 5 bulbs. Instruction manual doesn’t give much details, but has a diagram illustrating how the strands are placed. “Threading” the split-ring through the hole in the shiny cover may be difficult if you don’t have fine motor skills ( it’s even more difficult with those cotton gloves: I used a pair of nitrile gloves). One important thing: do not use a sharp object (knife or scissors) to cut open the bubble wrap covering the strands. The coated wire is so fine and you could easily cut them. Best is to tear the bubblewrap open. Be very patient and don’t rush if you get neck strain while hanging the strands. Take a break and do it later. It’s worth it. Good luck

totally in love with my new light . It really finishes my new dining room. If you want that clean modern look, you will not be disappointed in this light. I want to give some helpful hint when you are putting on the crystals with the wire. These crystals come individually wrapped and numbered. What I found, is that if you snip where the number is to open the packaging, it makes it easier. The wire is basically around the crystal with the end piece tucked in. Find that end and uncoil it and basically most of them just unraveled without too much trouble. I had some that were really tangled up and it took a while to unravel the wire. Each row you hang 4 crystals, following the guide to get the shape that is shown. I just unwrapped all four and then connected them to the fixture. One issue was that when you had the rows that were "REALLY" close to the bulb, that was not easy because there was not much room to get the ring from the wire with the crystal through. I have long nails, so it was a bit of a challenge. It took me about 2.5 hours to open and hang all the crystals doing it myself, but it is absolutely gorgeous. I have a dimmer and played with it to see what affect it had on the crystals. Even when I turned the light off, this was at night, you still could see a glimmer from the hanging crystals. Definitely worth the work. I hope the tips help and enjoy.

I have purchased other crystal chandeliers from Amazon before. So I read the reviews and thought why not. It came all wrapped up very tight and secured. The one complaint I would have is that they need better instructions on how to hang and adjust the wire lengths. We sent them an e-mail to ask questions and they answered immediately. I also told them that I had some chipped crystals and they immediately asked how many and that they would ship them out. i told them that I did;t know at the time and would get back to them. It is a long process to hang each crystal especially when I am very picky and want each one the same length with out any flaws. (that's just me) :) It took me 2 months to finally hang and look at all the crystals. (My fault life gets busy) But the number one thing I would say is WOW about their customer service. After I had already had the chandelier for a month, they sent me an email asking how many replacements crystals did I need. I was shocked that they reached out to me before I reached out to them. Anyways after another month I finally got back to them and they are shipping all of the crystals I need. Very impressed with this company and will purchase more items from them.

Pictures do not do this justice. I took some close ups but you really cant see the details or the shine from the crystals. I really like this light. People think I paid $1000 for it....at a local store in Plano, TX they sell this type of light for $899 (what a ripoff). The crystals are very clear and the reflected light from them is excellent. However, the 5 gu10 50 watt halogen lights I used are not enough to make the dining room super bright (because they act more like spot lights) and therefore require additional lighting to make the room really bright (if that's what you want). But in my opinion there is plenty of light on the dining table. So why the 4 star rating? Well, like others have stated....it's a pain in the a*s to put together because you have to cut the packaging for each line, then untangle the wire. I had to order 3 of these (thank god for prime) because the first one had a lot of scratches on the chrome finish and some of the crystals where broken (sent that one back). Then I order a second one and the chrome finish had a long scratch on it. So I kept the second one and ordered a 3rd one and that one was much better (only had 2 tiny dings in the chrome finish that you can't see unless you just stare every inch of it down. I mixed and matched crystals in both of the boxes because there where so many that were either scratched, had highly visible imperfections, or the line was either too short or too long. I picked out the ones with the best ball crystals, but really couldn't do much as far as the small crystals go. Too many of those had imperfections and I didn't want to spend all day (took me about 3-4 hours with a helper) putting this up. Even thought the small crystals had imperfections they were not chipped or cracked, which is what I cared about on those. The ball crystals on the other hand had to be near perfect for me because they hang at eye level. My advice is that you order 1 and see if it has any scratches on the chrome finish. If yes, then order another one and hold onto the first one so you can swap out crystal balls or even the entire line. Not really sure why not more people have mentioned this. Maybe I just had bad luck, but come on? 3 of them with this many problems.....? 1. Was pretty easy to hand on the wall, but do NOT use the cheap drywall holders they sent with it. Instead get the 50lb metal screw type holders. I bought eight of them. If you can put any screws in a stud instead, do so. This thing is pretty heavy to just hang off of the sheet rock. I was only able to align 1 of the 8 holes to a stud. 2. Wiring was easy, except that you have 2 black wires and a ground. So you have to trace one of the black wires from where they attached it to the rest of the white wires on the light sockets. Don't know what they were thinking here except to save money. 3. use the gloves to put the chrome finish on and make sure the screw heads are sticking out all the way. If not, gently push on them with a flat head screw driver so the chrome top panel sits all the way. You don't want this falling on your head with all that weight, lol. Be careful the screw driver doesn't slip and destroy the chrome finish. 4. use the included gloves on one hand from here and start attaching the crystals. once you get to the first light socket, hang up all 4 lines of crystals and then put the light in. This is so that you don't struggle putting the rings into their holes right next to the light. You want to try and get as little smudge on the chrome finish as possible. They are a pain to scrub off. Do the same all the way to the end. With the hand that does not have a glove, grab the ring end of the line (the ring is like the one on a key chain except that it is very easy to pry apart) between 2 fingers and hook it onto the ring bracket attached to the chrome panel like you are adding a key to your keychain. This part was actually pretty easy. 5. put both gloves on and scrub the big crystal balls to a shine. Would I recommend this? Yes Would I buy another one to put in another room? Probably not for a long time (takes way too much effort).

Beautiful candlelight such a pleasing purchase with great price look awsome and rich vibe lot of people love it great purchase

I love everything about these lights. Yes.... I bought two. And am very glad that I did. There is no picture(s) that would do these justice, as they are SO beautiful! They add just the right degree of class, and you could pretty much add them to any room, and have them dress it up. I'm extremely happy with this purchase. They give great lighting as well. I got the daylight bulbs to go with them. This seller was also selling them for about half the price as others, for exactly the same thing. I'd definitely buy from them again. They're very elegant, and yet simple to add to any room. Buy it! You will not be disappointed! They're different than any other light I've bought, thus far, for our remodel. The crystals also throw off a pretty pattern on the wall, which I love as well. I put them in the dining room and kitchen, and am very pleased with the results.

It’s beautiful, and I’m happy I have it, but it was a difficult installation. The crystals are on bow tie connectors - you bend one side around the crystal and the have to get the second side around the slot in the base. We found that's pre-bending a hook and then getting it in the base before pinching it down worked best. It was not easy. I wish they had their pressure style hooks for this chandelier (I bought two different kinds for different areas, and the other kind was so much easier) The other difficult part was getting it leveled. We had it leveled, we thought, and added all the crystals. It wasn’t level, and the chandelier is really heavy with all the crystals on - not an easy task. Overall, I think it took us about 5 hours to install. Most of that was fiddling with the base and hanging the crystals

Mi articulo llegó roto En muy mal estado

Es una lámpara de lujo por qué son Crystales y está pesados. Tiene una bases color plata y tiene un gran tamaño es igual a como muestran alas imágenes. Viene desarmada y vienen con todas la piezas y trae sus instrucciones para la instalación. Trae sus alambres tornillos y guantes para el uso adecuado de los Crystales. Muy bonita 10 de 10
