I've never installed a pendant light before, only flushmounts, so it was a little bit complicated for me as the instructions weren't very clear or descriptive. It took me a few tries before I got the wires passing through all the parts they needed to pass through. 
The chain is really long, so for an average height ceiling to have it hang where I want above my dining room table I had to adjust the length to about a third.
The light itself though looks great and gives my dining room exactly the look I was going for. It casts shadows on the ceiling too which adds an ambience to the room.
