Relatively easy to install. Cut the wires down to your desired length, stripping the last half inch or so of wire insulation. My only frustration was with getting the wires pushed back into the ceiling around the mounting bracket so the covering plate would secure to the bracket. But i was able to complete the project alone. it looks exactly as described. Priced way better than some similar fixtures Ive found. Idk why people think fixtures should cost so much! This one gets compliments all the time.
