Assembled chandeliers?
I purchased a contemporary chandelier from another company and when it arrived it was in hundreds of pieces that needed to be put together. The wires had to be run throughout the arms of the chandelier and every part had to be screwed together. Are your products assembled?
Answer: Some chandeliers based on size may come knocked down, which means it is not assembled. However, for an additional charge the manufacturer will assemble the chandelier and then ship the chandelier straight to you by truck. Most chandeliers would require minor assembly, like securing the shade to the chandelier body, but not to the extent of what you mentioned above. The company that you purchased the chandelier from should have informed you that your purchase was a knocked-down fixture and they should have advised you of the option to have it assembled. It seems that it was assumed you would have an electrician assemble it. For the assembly alone, it is usually less costly to have the manufacturer assemble a knocked-down item together as opposed to paying the and additional charge to an electrician who may charge by the hour. Also, the manufacturer is most familiar with the product, so there is less likely to be any complication with the assembly. However, by having the manufacturer assemble the chandelier, there may be additional shipping charge (as much as $200) due to the large size. Most chandeliers require minor assembly. For larger size chandeliers, a higher percentage are shipped unassembled. It varies product by product.
Here are some brands of chandeliers that we carry:
Please be advised that truck size items are non-returnable.
