The shipping was very quick for this product.  Its pretty light weight. I have not yet installed it.  When I did take it out of the box there is a film over the stainless steal front/sides.  The film looked like it had been scratched so I was a bit worried that the actual product would be scratched as well but when I peeled the film down (not overly easy to do) there was no marks so extremely satisfied with that.  The range hood looks exactly like the picture & it will fit our space perfectly!
