It came very well packed, is a quality product and was relatively easy to install, but you better use a level to get the black frame straight. These are a good size for a larger room or as in our case tall hallway where we needed light up to the ceiling and down on the steps. It makes a very soft, pleasant light with the tinted glass and I used two LED 60w-equivalent bulbs to conserve energy costs. I love that the light has standard sockets so you have a bigger selection of bulbs you can use. I would not install it at a location where people could bump into it, because the curved glass just slides into the metal frame (make sure you install the frame right side up) and could probably get easily dislodged. Not an issue for us, since ours are mounted high up, but to be considered.
