This was really difficult to put together. The instructions are made as a one size fits all for all the products this company sells and its not appreciated. The diagrams are also not super helpful due to that. That being said, the fan is gorgeous and absolutely worth the effort. It should also be noted Ive never done electrical of any kind before and have not ever put together a ceiling fan, so if you have minimal familiarity it my be much easier for you. Even as an absolute beginner I was able to get it together, up, and working. Definitely would purchase and go through the pain again.
