It's a little complicated to assemble, but after watching an instructional video on YouTube, it helped a lot.  However, for the price of this pendant light, i expected more quality.  The pendant looks nice from underneath, but if you look at it from the side, it has gaps between plastics that can reveal the inside of the pendant, which is the light bulb.  It looks ok in my new bedroom.  If it weren't for the trouble of taking it down again, disassemble it and mailing it back, i'd return it though.
