Not easy to install! Requires 2 screws into the drywall. The rods are never perfectly straight, but unless you are standing there staring at them to see if they are straight, it's not very noticeable. Puts off plenty of light. We only have this in our kitchen over the island, no other lights and it's more than enough w/ 100w bulbs. 
One of the shades was broken when we received it. They quickly sent a replacement.
