Installation was a bit of a challenge as the fixture needed to be rewired when shortening the length of the cables. The instructions were adequate but could have provided additional detail for rewiring. Once the rewiring was complete, the actual installation of the fixture was fairly easy. It looks great now that the job is complete. It provides excellent lighting on the table below without lightning up the entire room. Wayfair should indicate in the product description that a dimmer is needed to prolong the life of the integrated light bulbs.
