For the price the quality is what you'd expect.  Some say this was easy to assemble... it took my handy man 2.5 hours - I don't know how a "regular" person could ever do it.  It looks very nice though.  Other reviews complained of the light being terribly bright and this is true.  You don't notice until the room is a little darker.  It's so bright you can't look at it comfortably - I'm hoping to find lower watt bulbs.  They should have put a shield like  you see on other brands to block the light to the front so it isn't blinding.  Overall though - it's nice looking.
