I did have to assemble the fixture when I got it so it took longer than I thought to switch out. However, that’s the only downside. Worked out perfectly, works perfectly in the space due to most of my friends and family being over 6 foot, I need something tighter for the shorter ceilings in this old house. ￼ gives off great and well distributed light. I think it would look better with round bulbs but those were in my old fixture.
