I always read the reviews before I order anything so hopefully this review will be helpful to a future buyer.  The pkg. arrived on time and was in good condition.  It was fairly easy to put together.  I purchased it on sale but would not pay full price for this item.  Just wait for a sale then get it. Overall I am very pleased with it.  I think it looks great in the stair case.  It has an expensive look.  I put 60 watt LED bulbs in mine and it put out a very nice light.  I would recommend this product.
