Luckily, the lantern inside appeared to be ok, but it was packakged in a 'very' undersized box. Was over-taped because
the seams couldn't even come together. Also, there appears to
be no way to secure the top onto the lantern after you turn it on. This I fear will make it possible for the top to blow off in the wind as it is an outdoor solar item and not able to hang it with the little handle. There were NO instuctions included..why? Sadly, this has been less than a satisfactory experience.
