This is a very nice looking unit and a very good value for the price. I installed it myself, and if you're reasonably mechanically inclined (and realize the importance of terminating the power to the wires that will connect it so as to avoid the risk of electrocution), you will be able to do it without too much difficulty. I would have given it five stars but for the directions, which were really not as clear for this particular model as they should have been. By that, they were generic and related to wiring the unit and installing its mounting plate, but what was not made clear was that in order to install the bulbs, one has to remove the glass shroud by unscrewing the two thumb nuts visible near the upper canopy. It's not that you have to an astronaut to figure it out, but it did require some poking around to understand that, and thus when it comes time to replace the bulbs, there will be some disassembly of the fixture; however, in my view that does not militate against its purchase. It's a very well-constructed item, and the chain's links are very sturdy; in fact, you will need a pair of vise grips and a pair of pliers to open one so as to shorten the chain to your desired length. Thus, overall I'm happy with the purchase and the quality of the item. One last point is that I did go to the company's website and email them about the issue of the directions being inadequate in my view, but got no reply; while not a deal-breaker, a response should have been rendered.
