This light absolutely transformed the bedroom I installed it in. Read the instructions a few times, the center bolt is set up to the proper length with a nut on it- you just have to insert it from the bottom of the light and use the washer and nut to secure it from the top ( before you mount it to the ceiling) don’t drop in in from the top- what can I say- I was so excited to get this installed I started late at night and being tired is not conducive to successfully installing the first time lol. Worth it tho…
