This light was a breeze to put together, it too just a couple minutes. It looks exactly like the picture online and is even better in person. Taking down my old light and putting this one up was a huge hassle but totally worth it. The brushed nickel looks great, it's a nice contemporary look and much brighter than the oil rubbed bronze we had in our office before. Just make sure you wash your hands before handling it after taking your old light down or you risk getting dirt on the bright white material
