It's a big and heavy light (I know that sounds like a contradiction in terms), so you need to build a platform to install it unless you have another person handy to hold it while you put in the final nuts. Instructions are you typical translated from Chinese by a person who only understands Hungarian quality, but you can figure it out. My first light crashed to the floor because it weighed too much for the line holding it up, but Wayfair sent me another at no cost - so that's why 4 stars.
