This fixture is an attractive upgrade to our old acorn shaped lights that came with the house in 2003. This is a fixture that offers a lot for a budget price. As such, don't expect anything extra, like wire nuts that are needed for installation. I would have liked to see the white and black wires be a little longer to facilitate wiring while holding it up to the wall (I propped the bottom on a 2x4). Also, because my builder used a single gang rectangular rough in box that is normally used for switches and outlets, instead of the customary round box for wall sconces, I had to get a different mount that is "X" shaped and which can be rotated to facilitate installation in this type of box. This is not the lights fault! But be prepared for that possibility. The glass is thin, but beveled, so it looks nice. As noted, this is not a heavy duty light like you might expect if you were paying hundreds of dollars for it.
Packaging. The lights were sufficiently protected to arrive without damage (I bought three). They used cardboard box and some cardboard inside to stabilize the light. But there were a couple of pieces of the crappy, crumbly styrofoam that comes apart and gets all over everything. I would encourage the manufacturer to replace all styrofoam with cardboard to aid in recyclability.
Product quality: The metal is soft and thin and the glass is thin but beveled. Why did I rate it as high as I did? Because it was cheap! This is not Kitchler. I did notice that one of the mounting nuts started to mill away the sheet metal as I tightened it up to the wall, so it is soft. The black coating on the nuts did wear away easily when I put a small 7 mm wrench on it to tighten the fixture up to the wall.
Installation: I had special challenges because my builder originally used the wrong rough in boxes for lights and I was not able to use the provided mounting plate, which is sturdy and nicely finished. So, in addition to the provided mounting hardware, you may need an adjustable "X" shaped bracket. You will also need two wire nuts, a flat and phillips screwdriver and a bit of patience as is the case with all exterior sconce installations. If you need to tighten the two black hexx shaped mounting nuts more than finger tight, you will need a 7mm wrench (that's really small), or a small crescent wrench.
My wife loves the lights as a nice modern take on an old school carriage lamp. Good luck and have fun.
