Not bad. I didn't find installation to be an issue although I can see why it frustrated other. Ultimately it looks very good in my hallway in daylight hours when the light is off. When the light is on, I haven't been able to get it right. I tried a bright white "daylight" bulb but the hallway looked sterile like a flourescent hospital. Then I tried a warm white bulb next, but it is quite dim behind the thick frosted glass. I removed the frosted glass and the brightness with the warm white is perfect. It is just too muted behind the glass cover. Not sure how to resolve this one. Maybe better in a different space where it isn't the only light source.
