It is the wraparound lens cover that is not what I expected. I thought it would be a hard shiny white glass-like acrylic material, and it is rather flimsy flexible material. I will not use it in the location originally planned for it, because I wanted a sharper sleeker light fixture there. I have many other Sea Gull fixtures, so the name brand was an attraction in my purchase decision. The wait was more than 5 months.
