So, out of the package, it is stunning, and I was a little shocked that it is not very heavy. I do recommend two people to install it, but it took us all of about 35 minutes, and that includes removing the old light fixture. The instructions could use major improvement. The top two screws on the hanging bar need to be loose so they can angle and attach to the lamp correctly... however, the instructions dont tell you any of this. They honestly dont really tell you anything they just give you a diagram of the parts and how they should be placed. That aside, I would buy this again its that beautiful!
