The light fitting itself is gorgeous and is just big enough to look impressive without being too big. I'm not really into flush fittings but we have such a low ceiling in our lounge we couldn't go with a pendant. So this works great. However ... it is an absolute NIGHTMARE to install. There's not a lot of room for wiring in the top part of the fitting, so you need to make sure you have room to back the wires up into the ceiling before trying to fit. Also the fitting itself is super awkward. The shade has to go on to the decorate part of the ceiling plate before fitting, which means you can't see around the fitting to slot the screws from the ceiling plate into the decorative part. Achy arms all round. And mucky fingerprints all over the ceiling plate. Had it been easier to fit, this would easily have received 5 stars from me. But, now it's up, I love it.
