I received the item appropriately packaged unfortunately there were no adequate instructions provided. I say inadequate because the instructions were very vague, and faded. The ink dried out as it was printing apparently. When taking the light fixture out the Chrome portion was protected with black tape which I didn't know at the time I thought I was sent something that was different seeing in the photo. I also thought there was cardboard protecting the plastic portion of the light fixture where the jewels will be showing through but it turns out that it is paper that has been placed over it and the adhesive is so strong it's hard to get it off. It took me a while to figure this out. I have made two videos to show what I was working with. I feel a little silly after finding out that there was no cardboard but again I didn't know what I was expecting and there were no instructions on how to set it up and what to remove.
