My husband and an electrician hung it up @ an hour, but my husband had assembled before. There are no real directions so that took at least an equal amount of time if not more. I then hung the prisms with no real detailed instructions either which took me at least 2-3 hours until I finally figured it out with the right spacing and length of strands.

I personally recommend you hire an electrician. It did not take them (2 people) more than an hour to put it together/up. It is definitely an eye catcher and adds elegance where ever you decide to display it. I absolutely LOVE it and everyone who walks in compliments me about it. People could not believe I got it on Amazon for what I consider a really good price. Good luck!

Hiring an electrician wouldn't be a bad move. The installation was tedious, and the plans were very unclear. Having an extra set of eyes, especially one with experience, would make the painstaking process flow that much more smoothly.

As a master electrician i had to fish a circuit to my panel, install a disconnect by the outside unit. So wire, a breaker, disconnect + knowledge of codes ect. I installed and wired the unit and luckily have a part time neighbor who is a HVAC contractor. He came on a Saturday and did the lines and vacuumed the system, checked it out and got it going. We had one glitch one line was shipped the wrong size [ too big ] So we had to make a trip to the local store for the right line which had to be flared and made to fit. Luckily i had some one with a lot of experience in HVAC.

My electrician installed it so I don't know for sure. But I don't believe it had any significant length of wiring and probably just had screw lugs to attach the wiring - so you'll likely have to provide your own wire.

It took about a halh an hour. i did it myself but if you can get an extra hand would help. Well built with no problems to put together.

It depends on how strong you are, lol. It is pretty heavy, so I personally wouldn't suggest it... And it will take an hour or two to assemble ;)

curbside delivery. A real pain in the butt. They would not take it up the 100ft driveway. The electrician had a couple of guys there, and three pieces of conduit cut down. They were able to move it with ease by pushing it on the conduit.

hi, mine was installed by electrician, works perfectly, a balancing kit might help your situation, thanks.

They say it will take 2 hours. It is not difficult, but is time consuming. Plan on 3 to 4 hours, and pay close attention to the instructions. Many parts look alike and serve similar functions, but need to be where they are supposed to be in order to function properly.

Its been almost a year since I put mine together. I suggest you try the website for the company. I remember it wasn't too intense to put together. I'm sorry I can't offer more help, I don't want to steer you in the wrong direction.

I would love to help, but not being familiar with your wiring I can't really say what goes to what. My recommendation would be to study the included wiring diagram and if that doesn't help consult a qualified electrician in your area. Good luck.

If you have right tools (especially like this BLACK & DECKER 3.6-Volt 1/4 in. 3-Position Screwdriver) then it would take approximately an hour to 90 minutes adn that's what it took for me. If you do not have right tools then it may take upto 3 hours I guess. It is pretty sturdy once hooked up but the only problem would be once installed/assembled, you can't move from one room to other unless you have bigger door ways. If you ahve regular door ways then first plan out where do you want to keep it so you can assemble in that room. Hope this helps..Ohh BTW, instructions are pretty thorough and labelled properly so it is peice of cake to install if you follow the instructions.

Take your time and study the parts a bit before starting. There are some gotchas possible but I was able to put it together in about 30 minutes.

This is something I am working on. Plan on having the electrician in to do just that and think it will be possible.

I ended up having someone install it for me. I must say it was not easy for the electrician to do it, it took him long. Its worth it though, the lamp looks very good. Sorry I could not be of any help. Good luck

I assembled the shed in a about 3 hours with the assistance of my 16 year old granddaughter. No problems, I only needed a screwdriver and electric drill. There are about 100 screws so the electric is essential. There are a couple of steps which require two people so have someone available to help...

An electrician would be helpful. It is hard wired and not just a plug in. My step dad is an electrician and said it is very simple so its not a big ordeal.
