The light came packaged quite carefully and seemed fairly well made. Assembly was easy but the installation was a bit of a challenge. Our intention was to use this light as a flush- mounted fixture for our dining area. It took quite awhile for my wife and I to secure the light but once we got it set it looked better than we expected, the dimming feature is a nice touch and it was brighter than we thought it would be ( based on the reviews we read). Other than the installation challenge , the only other complaint we have is that it makes a buzzing sound when fully lit. It’s been installed for a few days and we are very happy with our purchase!
