This light was ordered at the same time as a smaller one, but arrived 5 days later. It was well packed, and arrived without any damages. My husband installed the fixture himself. The only difficulties that he had was in getting the square mount parallel to the surrounding walls. The mounting plate has slots to rotate the square mount, but in our case, where you had to screw the mounting plate resulted in little "wiggle room". Even with this, we were able to mount the fixture in about 20 minutes.
