Am wiping the sweat off my brow right now, as this is the first time I’ve purchased an item w/out any reviews, however these were the only stylish track lights that were very small in cord length and would work perfectly for my kitchen bar area. So, I closed my eyes and hit the checkout button, then prayed they would arrive just like the picture and actually work! There was no thinking about returning them. Do you know how much it cost to ship something back to China from the US?!To my surprise, they arrived well packaged with a note from the seller and were everything I hoped I would receive with an extra surprise. They came with the bulbs (Edison style) too! Imagine me doing the happy dance around the kitchen. Vintage bulbs run on average $8 to $12 a piece. I couldn’t believe it and maybe it said so in the description, but I missed it ;-). Here’s my thorough review:Packaging: 5 out of 5 stars. Lights came well packaged in a large rectangle cardboard box with typical Styrofoam paper and padding throughout the box and around each light. The box (thankfully) was easy to open with a few strips of packing tape on the top and bottom.Quality: 5 out of 5 stars. For this price, the quality of the metal, paint, cords and weight and feel are superb. The cords once you hang them will straighten out due to the weight of the lights. I had a little ding in the paint for one of the lights, yet it was unnoticeable after installing the lights. If you are familiar with the Restoration Hardware brand, these lights are very compatible.Installation: 5 out of 5 stars. This was the area that I was most concerned about. I had ordered some other lights and had to finagle with them to get them to work on the track. Not these. They come with arrows on one of the sides (see picture), that when you press down on them will allow you to turn the light into the track and then you’ll hear a “click” sound to let you know that the side with the arrows has clicked into the groove – first time I’d ever seen something like this. It took no more than 10 minutes to install the three lights. The only thing I don’t recall seeing is installation instructions, though they might have been in the box, and I overlooked them.Shipping time from China to Southeast coast USA: 4 stars out of 5. Shipping took 18 days total from order date to arrival. A little over 2.5 weeks which wasn’t too bad. I had expected them to arrive in about a month.Overall: Extremely and beyond satisfied. Highly recommend. I wish they had been available on Prime yet am happy I pulled the trigger and ordered these. You should too. You won’t regret it!
