This light is awesome and looks great in my bedroom. The instructions were terrible, but after reviewing several times, I figured it out. Assembly is a bit complicated but everything is labelled somewhat clearly and eventually I was able to get it mounted. The light is not heavy at all compared to many other ceiling lights so it was fairly easy to attach by myself. The light coming from it is VERY bright and a whiteblue tone verses a warmer yellow tone. I would definitely recommend if this is for your bedroom that you also have bedside lamps for a less harsh brightness, but it would be excellent in a kitchen or dining room. Four stars for the sheer awesomeness of the design, loses a star for the truly terrible assembly and wiring instructions.
