I am very pleased with this light fixture.  It's lovely over a very large round dining room table. My husband hung the fixture with only one issue that he initially missed and I figured out. One of the last installation steps shows 2 washers that need to be placed on the metal stem, on either side of the plastic diffuser.  He said they weren't included.  I discovered the 2 washers (1 1/2" black flat disks) were already threaded onto the stem.  They were stuck together and appeared to be part of the stem.  They needed to be removed and separated and put back as the directions indicate.  This was very misleading. I suspect this is missed by many customers and that is why they are having previously mentioned problems with an unsteady bottom to the fixture.  The installation instructions leave a lot to be desired!
