vidaXL Luxury Black Crystal Light - Retro-Style 5-Bulb Chandelier, Acrylic Arms, Droplets Beads, for Living Room, Bedroom, Dining Room, & Office [Energy Class A]

I searched a lot before buying this light fitting; pink chandeliers start at around £100 more than this so clearly this chandelier intrigued me from the get-go. We’re currently refitting my workshop (I make jewellery) and it’s in light and hot pink, I needed more light than a single bulb and desk lamp so decided to go for it and I’m so glad so did.Firstly, the chandelier arrived well in advance of the estimated delivery time, in just a few days. It was well packaged and came with extra octagon crystals and loops. My fiancé found it a doddle to put up; if you can wire a regular light fitting you’ll not struggle with this. Richard hung a hook in the ceiling and shortened both the chain and the wire, mainly because he’s 6ft 2. If you need to shorten the chain/lead length like us we’d advise using nylon pliers or at least covering pliers to protect the finish.One of the cups didn’t initially fit, owing to some excess acrylic left on during manufacturing. We filed it down in about a minute and then it fitted perfectly.Once up I noticed there was a tiny, I mean tiny, ding in the very top cup which, in all fairness, we may have done putting it up. It’s tiny and no one would know it’s there, I can’t see it when I’m not on a chair staring at it!The one difficulty I did have, after Rich legged it, was sorting out the acrylic crystals. There are no instructions and I’m dyslexic but I got there in the end! Being me I had to fiddle with it and I just so happened to have some acrylic kitty charms in the exact colour so I did what any regular adult would do and added them, freeing up an extra teardrop to hang from the bottom, which you can see from the listing photo, isn’t part of the intended design.I’ve put a few photos as the one in the listing isn’t particularly life-like; that said, chandeliers are a devil to photograph as they’re either too bright or too dark, so I’ve done my best. The first three are of the chandelier before I added the extra charms - you too could of course buy extra or different decorations for your chandelier, such as glass or contrasting clear teardrops (Starbeads UK is excellent and sell the links too) and make the chandelier your own - but it looks utterly beautiful as it is.In terms of brightness it’s exceedingly bright with the five 40watt bulbs, which is what I need for work but you may prefer to use lower wattage or a dimmer; it would look stunning in a child’s bedroom but if that’s your intended use I’d definitely go for lower wattage bulbs.I’m honestly thrilled with it and highly recommend it, the value really is off the scale. It looks gorgeous and if you have a nicer ceiling than me and maybe a ceiling rose too, it will look even better at your house, kitties or no kitties!

This is so perfect. I ordered three other chandeliers but they all weren’t quite right. This one is all black including attachments and bulb base. Assembly was a little fiddly but spare parts were included. My local store didn’t have five bulbs so am awaiting two more but am super happy with the chandelier itself.

Great product & as advertised, arrived quickly.

The fixing isn’t the best for already placed wires. I had to modify the fixing as the hook attachment is centred but so is the wiring. So unless your planning to off set the wires look else where. Instructions for self assembly also not to clear. Once I got this up it does the tick and looks great

No hook was supplied, instructions wasn’t that clear especially putting crystals onOnce up it does look stunning

No fitting so really difficult to hang, no instructions, pendants and pieces missing.

it's looks beautiful my daughter loves it .

Not for me looks cheap ok for a bedroom that isn't used that much as I've done only because it needs a new fitting would i buy again no definitely not and would i want to take it with me if I moved house no but done the job in the room lights it up looks like a chandelier but the closer you get the cheaper it looks i really can't recommend it spend more you do definitely get what you pay for go cheap get crap I've bought others made from glass for just under £80 and really good fully recommend crystal not plastic
