First able, it was really well packed. We were afraid that ones we opened the box, something could be broken, but everything was really well protected. The glass of the spheres is absolutely beautiful. We installed it ourselves, it took us about an hour from start to finish. We used cotton gloves to handle the spheres, because we didn't want to leave them with finger prints marks. The quality of the glass and the metal is great. The shade of red is absolutely perfect. We bought it for our dining room, but once we see it, we decided to install it in our entryway, because it has higher ceiling. Definitely it meant to be there. The picture with the lights on, didn't make justice to the chandelier. I am not a professional photographer and I couldn't take one where I could show how beautiful it looks. We are really happy with our purchase, the price, quality and look are exactly what we were looking for.
