Lovely contemporary chandelier BUT

We purchased this almost a year ago for our dining room. It is stunning and it set the tone for our home. A few days ago, 5 of the lights on one side were intermittently turning on and off until finally they gave out. Electrician checked today (all bulbs were working) and it seems that the wires which were supposed to be separate for each side of the chandelier (refer to install instructions) were all threaded together through just the one side. This made it impossible for the electrician to check for any malfunction inside the main body of the chandelier (which is solid piece). Likely a manufacturing issue. Very unfortunate. Tempted to but another one to replace but with the cost, will likely look for another

Love it!
