Received this flush mount fixture within a readable time frame. When we went to mount the fixture I noticed an indentation in the shade and was unable to rectify it. The box with which the light fixture arrived in was not damaged so it is my assumption that it was packaged this way. Because it is for the bedroom we decided to keep it and have the defect face the back wall so as not to be noticed as you enter the room. Rather disappointed that you would package something with a defect and forward it to the customer.
