This has been an absolute nightmare to install! There is an 'X' type mounting bracket that you attach to the junction box, and that 'X' has four screws that you must subsequently thread through holes in the canopy plate keeping in mind this is a FLUSH MOUNT fixture!! You are blindly trying to have those screws go through an eighth inch hole! String, magnets, incredible persistence finally and miraculously paid off HOWEVER I would NOT recommend this fixture to my worst enemy. I have sold my condo and the existing fixture, an integrated LED, burned out and had to be changed by friday. I had exactly five days to replace. NEVER again!! If I could give ZERO stars, I would!!
