This fixture is light (ha!) and pretty decent looking. The instructions are pretty complicated, and I say that after becoming an expert at reading IKEA diagrams. The wiring is simple enough, but actually mounting to the ceiling wasn't easy, and the flush mount isn't quite flush. With that said, the light is bright and is quite minimal in our apartment living room, so we're happy enough. And - we got what we paid for. If you're looking for something on the cheaper side to light your apartment instead of a single bulb, this does the job -- just be prepared to struggle a bit with the installation. :)
