It went up easily although the instruction leaflet which is just pictorial is almost useless. The instalation is simple, just connect the transformer to the power and then attach the light to the ceiling and plug it in. You need to mark the ceiling accurately for the four screws so used the box to make a template and had no problem. The light then fits over the screw heads, slide it and you tighten these. two people does help with this. The plug on ours was a good fit and the system does help in that you are not r=trying to connect to the mains with the light hanging down.
I would agree that the metal brackets should be white and think I may try to paint these to match the ceiling.
