Installation directions that came with the light were pretty much non existent. It came with directions and screws that were for various different fixtures and we had a difficult time figuring out which pieces were actually needed. My father who is very handy helped us install this in our foyer and it took two hours. After we installed it the way we THINK it was supposed to be, it did not seem very sturdy hanging from the ceiling. The glass piece on the bottom does not seem to fit well either. I gave this two stars because it does look nice and will leave it for the time being but I will be looking for something different.
