Fairly easy to install, though the instructions were terrible. The only step-by-step instructions were on how to turn your power off (very important, no doubt!) but there were no instructions with regards to the actual installation of the light, except one tiny diagram. Thankfully this wasn't our first time installing a light so we already knew how the process went. I think the price of the light is very fair for what you get with regards to quality. My only complaint is that the lightbulb protrudes much more than the photo indicates. I was hoping the shade would cover most of the bulb, but alas, most of the bulb is exposed.
