To start, assembly and installation took no more than 30 mins. It’s the same simple wiring that you would need to change an ordinary light fixture. This is not as large as you might think, I took a picture with my 40 inch tv in it so you can gauge the size. It’s absolutely beautiful, the lighting is incredible. The options to adjust to bright or what I would call white light or soft white is perfect. The remote functions make it that much easier to control and it even has a sleep timer. I have it in my bedroom but this would really work in any room. My mom liked it soo much I just ordered one for her. She putting it in her living room.
