This light fixture is gorgeous but it was not easy to install and it is for sure defective. When I started screwing the arms of the fixture into the globe I noticed that 2 of the arms had extra pieces on them preventing me from screwing them in. I was not going to pay to ship it back so I had to open the top of the globe, cut the wires inside, take out the arms and the extra pieces, screw the arms in and tape the wires back together. I am not an electrician so this took a lot longer than it should have. I also did not realize when I bought from All Modern that everything is in American dollars and as a result ended up paying almost double of what the price of the fixture actually is.
