Took over 3 hours to assemble.  The directions are more or less a parts list, so you have to guess what you’re doing with it.  The amount of wire that needs to be successfully bundled together from the arms is obscene.  After threading the wire up through the rod copper color flakes pushed out and went everywhere, the wire actually jammed up on it and pushed it all out.  One of the nuts was too large and didn’t tighten down to the arm which necessitated a trip to the hardware store for a “so so” solution.  The caps that cover the bolts from the bracket aren’t long enough and had to be spaced with washers.  The plate isn’t large enoughto cover the standard sized electrical box in our ceiling.  It came with 0 wire nuts as well.  Looks nice enough up but would definitely not purchase this fixture again.
