To say it is difficult to put up this light is a major understatement. I have hung about 15 lights in the past few years ranging from chandeliers to small flushes. I was not able to hang this light, it was so heavy to hold while wiring it, and then there was really no way to see how to attach it to the canopy. I eventually gave up but then realized it was nonreturnable. So I donated it, but wish I could have returned it. I then purchased a schoolhouse semi flush from Lamps Plus and had it up and on in 15 minutes. Pretty disappointing.
