Fairly difficult to assemble and mount. Instructions were clearly not written by an English-speaking person. There are lots of wires that you need to cram into a small space but once you get it all done, the finish is nice and clean without chains hanging down or annoying brand plates or screws showing. The light is bright white. The remote is easy to use. I really like that the light turns on when you turn on the wall switch even if the light was off when you turned off the wall switch.
