Easy to put up. Yes, it can be angled to fit a sloped ceiling. I read one person said we were not told we had to use and adapter. You do not need one. It is a little tight, but it is on the fixture. I called Wayfair and the customer Service Representative told me I needed an adapter too. Couldn't believe you needed one and not in the instructions. I bent the top of the fixture and it was tight, but released to angle I needed.LOVE this fixture, such a "TODAY" look.
