The light itself is gorgeous. However, not only is the gray protective plastic a nightmare to remove, the four nuts (labeled "C" in the diagram) that must be attached to the base after the light is wired are an additional 3-day challenge; we still have not been able to adjust to get it flush with the ceiling. Very disappointed. This product should have come with a special tool to be able to reach the 4 "C" nuts or perhaps sell each light with a small monkey that can get its fingers between the light row and base to twist the nuts into place. I can't recommend this product to anyone who does not enjoy tormenting his or herself. Buy a bottle of whiskey and invite all your friends over. They will need to numb the pain.
