I haven't installed it yet, so I can't say if it's easy to do or not, or how it looks once used...but I will say that I was disappointed by the color. I just went back through the pictures and it's a bit confusing. We ordered the bronze/clear one - and I thought I would get an almost BLACK color for the metal...I was expecting very dark. What I got was sort of medium/dark silver. So when reviewing the photos, I could see that some of the photos were the medium dark silver - but some of the pictures look black to me. Since I was hoping for black - I was disappointed. I'm going to install it and see what it looks like on...but I might end up returning it. The design is beautiful, and the clear glass is very pretty.
