Shop for lighting fixtures

If you order this fixture, be prepared to have at least three people on ladders to install it. I have installed many light fixtures during our home renovation, and this one has to be the most difficult ever. Assembly requires attaching several pieces with tiny little washers and tabs in places that are nearly inaccessible with fingers or tools. Then, try balancing the huge glass dish inside the metal ring while you attach more little tiny washers and tabs to connect the ring and glass dish to the arms of the piece affixed to the ceiling. To make things even more difficult, if not impossible, the glass did not seat properly in the ring and the first set of little screws work loose while you struggle with the glass dish...I boxed it up and had it sent back to Murray Feiss. A very nice look in the photo, but very poor design!

I bought 2 of these lights. The glass was badly flawed on both of them. Holes in the etching and lots of scratches. One replacement light was sent after I complained to customer service. The replacement was worse than the originals. There was a 5 inch long depression in the bowl of the glass. Very disappointing because it is a beautiful design but poorly executed. Don't buy it.

The engineers got it wrong on this fixture. It was difficult to mount, even with two people.

The support arms are to be attached to the mounting base before attaching to the ceiling, which is ok until you have to mount the globe and ring.

You can attach two arms to the ring with the tiny nuts and washers easily if your hands are small as a toddler. Once you have the two arms attached, you can slide the globe into the ring and then attach the other arms, but remember, you now have to hold the globe in the air while you do it.

Frustrating assemly, but I have to admit it looks good when complete. Great light output.

Definitely a 6-beer job.

The light looks great now, but it took multiple attempts with multiple people to find someone with fingers small enough to put it all together. Not worth the effort!
