5 stars for the design. 1 star for product quality. I'm pretty sure that the packing cost is higher than that of the actual products costs. It takes about ten minutes to put together. I will keep it as I'm anxious to finish up the nursery and will mount it close to the ceiling. But will look for a replacement. Fine for a starter apartment or temporary solution. If I had seen the lamp in person I definitely would not have purchased this fixture due to cheap plastic material.
