Bottom Line:

Well packed, it came undamaged and all parts present, very quickly. Kudos to shipping. The assembly diagram could stand to be much larger for those of us without 20/20 vision and using the allen screws & tool for the inner base plate assembly were rather tricky for someone with large hands like me. Since you only have to assemble it once, I can't take points off for that but you'll have to have patience. I can see that changing bulbs will require a step stool, since you'll have to be above the whole mounted fixture for access into a small space but, again, there is always additional "cost" for style. And that's where I'm quite pleased. It draws the eye with texture and curves instead of just jutting out or down like most light fixtures do. Muted but still drawing attention. The three 40W bulbs provide very good light in my 10'X 8' bathroom and I'm considering installing a dimmer to give it more mood or use for a night light. It also allows for versatility in decorating, not presenting a "mission, elegance or cowboy" look by it's shapes. Very few times have I had the satisfaction of buying something and actually had it do or be exactly what I'd wanted. This is one.
