Took about 15 minutes to install. Relatively easy install, too -- though it did help to have 2 sets of hands when I got to the last step of tightening the small screw with an equally small Allen wrench. The ring itself is quite heavy, but it feels sturdy. Like others have said, the picture shows it hung upside down. You won't see the screws if mounted the correct way. The instructions didn't show an accurate diagram of this particular ring, but the mounting plate diagram and all instructional copy was correct. I purchased the brushed nickel finish. In my experience, this finish will show more streaks from fingerprint and water, but is fairly easy to clean. Just something to keep in mind. The finished product looks quite striking and modern. I am please with my purchase!
