Olivia Empire Chandelier

Pretty but not consistent quality

I fell in love with this chandelier on the website. It turned up well packaged and fairly quickly. The glass cut dangles are gorgeous, really clear and pretty. We took it out of the box yesterday to find that the ‘some assembly needed’ meant that each string had to be attached. It took a couple of hours and is really pretty but….it’s missing approx 8 of the split rings. The quality of the split rings is terrible, they are very thin and bend out very easily. Some of the top strings were different lengths so sit tighter than the others. The wire that they are strung on is slightly bent, I’m hoping they will straighten over time? Be very careful when opening the string packages, they are in bubble wrap covered completely with packing tape, the first package I cut open and actually cut a couple strings in half (totally my own fault but you have to be really careful). The instructions are near on useless, just one small page with a single drawing on it. Lastly it’s very hard to install, the wires are very tight and it has no hook like a ceiling fan for when it’s wired up so has to be physically held up, it requires 2 guys, one to hold and one to wire. Not sure that I’d recommend, I’m off to buy a package of split rings just so it can be finished and installed. If I could have sent it back I would have.
