Matt90 I spent about $250 all total and it took about 5 hours more or less ,if you are building for a 9 ft table the outside of this style light is 50 inches by 100 inches which is the size of table inside the rails, 2 8 ft light fixtures will just fit and chrome grid came from Lowes at 23 bucks a piece and you need 4 of them. Not hard at all and if I can help call my cell at 704-449-2334 anytime as I'm in your time zone.--Leonard
