This came together really quickly, and really lights up the space well--I'm using it in a 12'x16' living room, and I don't really need an additional light. My only complaint is that the screws are tiny, and a bit finicky-- I presume they are meant to brace the two metal pieces they attach, but they don't screw to an ultimate tightness (there's no head to the screw-- you use an incredibly tiny allen wrench to put it together), so it's a case for using one's best judgment for when you think the pieces are braced but the screw is out of sight. Not a problem that merits deducting any stars: the end result is sleek design.
