I am so, so happy with these garden lights! You never know for sure what you will find when you open a package, but let me put your mind at rest...these were perfect. I was pleased to open the package and find them packaged neatly and with support to keep them from being damaged if they got jostled during ahipping. I eagerly unwrapped them to discover that they are bronze rather than the usual black. (Somehow I missed that detail!) The soft, warm glow of the light and the design of the frame remind me of quaint old street lamp post with a candle in it. I love the way the light is cast around and behind it. What a beautiful, unique addition to my flower beds. These lights were very simple to assemble, and feel like a good quality plastic and glass. Just be sure to turn the switch to on after you remove the tab protecting the battery! I wasn't looking for a switch, as this is a new feature for me from other garden lights I've had, but I like it. It means I can turn them off if I have an outdoor movie going, or want it totally dark to star gaze. I would definitely recommend these to others.
