Beautiful to look at, a nightmare to assemble

This kitchen light is really beautiful to look at, but figuring out how to build it was a real nightmare. Once you get the hang of it, it's not that hard, it's just not intuitive, and the instructions are absolutely awful. I will try to do it step by step to explain. The easiest way to assemble the lamp is as follows: 1. Check the large rectangles and shake them to see if any screws have fallen into them. When you hear them, shake them out of the holes in the metal.2. Check the smaller rectangles to see if the screws are already in the holes. You are most likely in the wrong place or in the wrong place, so remove all the screws to start over.3. You can assemble the rectangles before screwing them onto the box. Note that the smaller dark rectangles connect BELOW the instrument box, while the larger later rectangles are on the SIDES of the instrument box. This should help you see where to place them: the holes closest to the center on the smaller dark rectangles are for the toolbox, and the second holes next to it are where you'll attach the larger, lighter rectangles. Make sure you have a magnetic head screwdriver. You need to screw very short screws in the body of the big light box and you might accidentally drop them and lose them in the light body. This is such a nuisance, and a magnetic screwdriver will help you out.5. Installing the already-built mount was easy, according to the book. None of this is physically difficult, it just needs to be shown more clearly. Overall I really like the look of this light fixture, it looks great once you've rubbed the bronze hardware around the room as it mimics that look. I just wouldn't recommend it to those who get frustrated easily, although with this guide you might find it easier than I did. This took forever to figure out, the actual construction took 5-10 minutes after I did it. Simple beautiful lamp but terrible assembly time.
