Siljoy Modern Rectangular Crystal Chandeliers 8 Lights Rectangle Raindrop Pendant Ceiling Light Fixture for Kitchen Island Dining Room, Adjustable Height, Polished Chrome Finish, L40 x W10 x H10

first, this light is beautiful. It works well over longer tables and spaces. It comes with incandescent light bulbs which weren’t very bright so I replaced them with 5 watt LED bulbs and now this fixture is very bright. With the brighter LEDs, it’s bright enough to do homework by but we tend to leave it halfway for dinner.Installing wasn’t easy. If you aren’t experienced installing light fixtures, definitely get a professional. If you are experienced, get two helpers if possible due to the length of the fixture. The box came with lots of extras. The fixture hangs from four wires which were plenty long and very easy to adjust to level the fixture. The box also came with extra crystals and extra wire fittings to hold them all together. The crystal are assembled but you must tighten up every connection carefully as you unwrap them as some are loosely connected and will come apart. I broke one crystal, shattering it on the floor before I noticed how loose they were. Good thing there are extra crystals. I also placed a thick rug under me after that so if I dropped anything I’d be less likely to break another one.there is also a white cotton glove in the box for handling the crystals without getting them dirty. I recommend using it even if you hand doesn’t quite fit, my hands are gigantic and I squeezed them onto at least my fingers. If not use gloves to not get fingerprints all over the crystals.While holding the fixture be very careful not to damage the tiny eye hooks on the bottom of the fixture that the crystals hang from. My helpers damaged some of them squishing them up against the metal. I was able to reopen some of the tiny eye hooks with needle nose pliers, but two of them were snapped off completely. Using a fine drill bit and an abundance of patience, I was able to drill out the little stubs of wire and replace the original eye hooks with extra wire hangers I found in the box. The wire hangers I used were extra globe hooks I trimmed short and squeezed into the hole. Worked perfectly as a replacement. Holds the weight of the crystals and unnoticeable. However, far better to avoid damaging those eye hooks in the first place.You can level the fixture pretty well with the little locks at the top of each of the four supporting wires. It’s a little tricky because your helpers need to hold the fixture up while you adjust the height. We decided to hang the light up a little higher and so we had quite a bit of wire inside the ceiling fixture cap. The wires are very hard to cut you’d need a metal shear probably, I rolled the ends up and secured them inside the ceiling cap.its a tight fit and required patience to get everything in and secured.If I had one complaint, it’s regarding the bolt that holds it to the junction box. If your box isn’t lined up right, it may need adjustment because the method Siljoy uses requires screwing a bar into the junction box. The bar has two bolts that point downward. The fixture ceiling cap fits over those bolts and is secured using to cap nuts. It looks nice when done, but my junction box was about five degrees off center requiring me to adjust it. Which is a huge pain. Would be nice if the bar was adjustable so you could more easily line up the fixture with the room. I was able to rotate my box almost perfect and used the wire length locks to slightly twist the light the last one degree. My end result looks perfect, but I know the fixture ceiling cap and the light are technically a degree off from each other. If the box were more “off” I’d have had to call an electrician to correct the box. Also, you should check that your junction box is secured properly to hold any weight. Mine is tied in to a beam, if your isn’t you can hang theirs fixture from the Sheetrock using some alternate hanging hardware included in the box. Again, if you are not sure how that works, hire someone.It took a while to hang all the crystals. Work from the center out so you don’t jostle the hanging crystals and put something soft under you so if anything does drop, it won’t shatter. There are extra wire fittings for crystals and extra crystals in the box. Oddly, there were a dozen extra globe crystals but only two extra rectangle crystals.For years we just had a small ugly fixture in the dining room. This chandelier makes the space warm and welcoming. My wife and I love the modern, clean lines and bright, warm light.

Ok right off the bat. Ill give you a little back log on this. Total win for me as a husband. My wife's been wanting literally an exact replica of this at Restoration hardware in suburban Chicago. Mind you they retail this same thing (few variations) for +/-$3800. Yes, thats not a typo. I bought this w/out asking her and had it delivered. When it came in i told her if you dont like this we'll return it.Package arrived next day shipping (very well packaged btw) and it took me about 30 min to make the electrical connections and install the ceiling mount. The time consuming process is putting together the crystals and installing them. Yes, like others have commented this is a very tedious and time consuming process but theres no other way of doing this w/out it coming as well packaged as it does from the manufacturer so pick your poison.You need two ppl to do this job efficiently but it can be done with one. My wife and shortys put together the crystals and i installed the main unit on the ceiling. I detail my own cars so i keep nitrile gloves all the time. Either this or latex gloves are a must. The surface of the unit is will take your fingerprints and oils and itll get difficult later to remove. Removing the protecting wrapping was also time consuming but i did it and used some light polish to remove a few spots wiht my Rupes iBrid DA. Probably overkill but it was worth it to me. Keep a microfiber towel handy as well for a finishing final wipedown before installing the crystals.In closing this is an excellent unit and my wife and I are in complete awe for what we paid. Absolutely gorgeous and brought some serious swag to the space. GL

So first off... No matter what, YOU WILL LOVE IT! Having said that.. like everyone else says, YOU have to assemble the crystals which is a lengthy feat. (See pic of 2 boxes that hold both styles of crystals) I’m pretty sure over the course of 2 days it took me more than 5 hours but I forged through because all other reviewers said it was worth it! My first suggestion, When you receive it, is open up the box and take the plastic off all the crystal balls and put them back in the slot and then take off all the plastic off the dangling crystals as your first step for your own sanity. Then if you go to a second day you will want to hang the wire on the crystal balls. Just my experience… To keep me sane! LOL. They give you little cotton gloves to help avoid prints on the crystals. Though hard to wear BOTH gloves when adding the hanging wire to the round crystals, so I used only one for that.*Some reviewers suggested adding all the crystals before you attached it to the ceiling but I can’t even imagine that going well. But then again I also had a very low ceiling so it wasn’t a big deal to do it after we had hung the bracket and frame of the lighting fixture. But if you have it going in a tall and easy to get to place, I suspect “maybe“ you’d wanna assemble the crystals first but it would be pretty unwieldy so I did it after the frame was attached to the ceiling.The instructions were ok I guess. You kind of have to FORCE at an angle, the square part of the wire to get it thru the crystal ball hole. Takes a few before you get the hang of it.I chose daylight led e12 (40watt=3.3w) vivid natural light bulbs. I included a pic for reference. It takes 6 and WOW! IS IT BRIGHT! Haha! Thankfully it’s on a dimmer but I like the white bright sparkly look.They give a decent amount of spare parts which was helpful. One crystal ball was chipped so thankfully there were more in the box to choose another.My only bummer was one of the wires that is woven through from the interior of the lightbox is gone so I couldn’t hang my very last Crystal ball. And I don’t know how to fix that situation so I might have to ask if they have a solution but overall it’s not that noticeable so I’m not really stressing on it.In general, I can say that for the money spent and the labor we put into it, it still is definitely worth it! And I am of the nature that - I like to be part of the process so, it worked for me! !

Missed 10 crystal balls initially. Manufacturer sent missing ones promptly.

The instructions were not very good but actually the fitting was straight forward enough. Its a time consuming job connecting it to the power supply and making sure the ceiling adequately supports it.The crystals are decent enough small hands are better and it needed 2 of us to support while fitting.Once up it does look nice and a great improvement from the one it replaced.

Received this beautiful chandelier before the estimated delivery date given, Unit was very well packaged and handled with care by the delivery driver. However the chandelier took four hours to install, but it was worth the time as it is amazing. Will recommend !!

I like the style and the glass is nice. But to be honest, l think the price is too high.

The media could not be loaded.  These lights are just beautiful. Worth every penny! Customer service was just exceptional, a big shout out to Vanessa who helped me every step of the way to get my lights to arrive in time, she was just amazing! The main metal plate was secured by my electrician but I had to position the crystals on the plate myself and it was fairly straightforward, but it definitely can get tiring if you’re alone so doing it with someone will save you a lot of time! I bought 2 of these lights, when it only really got tiring on the second one I did, but I somehow find it very therapeutic too so it was quite easy for me. Really satisfied with my purchase! I used E14 bulbs in 4000K colour temperature and they really brighten up my hallway. Really impressed with the product.
