The instructions for this install were very poor, and the fixture itself cannot be adjusted to sit flush to the ceiling - there is about 1/16th to 1/8th of an inch of gap between the ceiling and the mount. We will have to purchase additional hardware (black washers) as spacers on the screws to make the fixture flush. We have purchased 8 other light fixtures online, including some from Wayfair, and have never had this problem before. The fixture itself is beautiful and as described - would have been 5 stars if it sat flush against the ceiling.
