First off, this is packaged so well. All the dangling crystals were wrapped up neatly in groups and labeled. Then, totally not necessary, but a nice touch, there is a little white glove in there for handling all the crystals. Like I said, not necessary, but I did use it and enjoyed doing so! Super easy to twist the rods together. Base is nice and heavy. And finally, the satisfaction and beauty when hanging each crystal was so great lol! I loved watching this lamp come together. It looks absolutely beautiful. Great piece for my corner. Really adds the pop I was looking for.
