This lantern is very pretty - it's simple but would add such a nice look to a foyer or entrance. I really like the black one and think it would look amazing in my space.  I would recommend measuring carefully as I suspect this latern may be too large for my 10' hallway.  As far as packaging - the box was very light and easy to carry.  However, I didn't find the lantern was well packaged - the latern was just placed in box (not in the plastic bag), chain was loose and entangled on lantern.  Surprisingly, the item wasn't damaged or scratched.

The medium works with my 10ft ceiling - without using too much of the chain and looks great.
