Lamp was well packed so the two I ordered were received in perfect condition. They are beautiful as pictured and with LED dimmable vintage bulbs our pair really dress up our kitchen island. I have past experience as an electrician and mounting these was a challenge. The cord slips through the 2-hole plastic tension-clip. No instructions on this for novices so be sure to use the 2nd clip that comes with it and interlock them with a loop of cord between each. The screws provided for the decorative nuts to attach to may extend into your outlet box and not line up until you cut off the screw's heads. So to match 2 lamps 3' apart took some adjustments but they are secure and look great!
