I am always leery of receiving anything with a glass insert in the mail but this sconce was packed well and did not arrive with any damage.  The lanterns are lighter in weight than I expected but it works out because the hanging brackets would not have been able to handle a heavier piece.  We ordered 2 for a larger wall.  The wall mount on one bracket was a little off which made hanging the lantern even a challenge.  I would recommend using molly bolts with the screws to secure the bracket to the wall.  We do like the finished look of the hanging sconces - more of a rustic feel.
