Terrible “instructions.” There was a diagram that was impossible to understand, no actual instructions luckily my husband figured it out. Also, one of the socket covers would not screw on to the socket so we could not attach the glass shades. Had to improvise and use old pieces we had around the house to make it work. Overall, an extremely frustrating install. Two hours at least. On the positive side, the fixture looks great now that it’s hung. I would not recommend buying this unless you have experience putting together light fixtures and have plenty of patience.
