This looks just as nice in person as it does in the photos. It arrives in a curiously small box as all of the arms needs to be attached to the lower, central box. There are no useful instructions, however the process if straight-forward: just bolt the arms to that central box. Be sure to bolt securely or the angled arms will torque sideways over time. Use a wrench. Note that the box that attaches to the ceiling is fairly small: barely larger in diameter than a junction box. If your box has a 1/2" of space around it as mine did, this will not cover it. I had to add material to the ceiling, and since we can't get paint to match, repaint the entire ceiling.
