Packaging was great and everything needed to assemble was included in the box. The mounting was very flexible to accommodate different mounting challenges. Installation was very straightforward and easy for anyone to accomplish. We are currently redoing our master bedroom and changing our style from Queen Anne (yes, that old stuff!) to casual farmhouse. I wanted to have two reading lights over our king sized bed but this light was a little smaller than expected for that application. However, I have been wanting to replace the light on our porch for some time and was delighted when I found another location for this barn light!  It's lovely and my porch went from DRAB to FAB in about 15 minutes!  Now I have to get a cool light bulb to make the transformation complete.
