The article is delivered in kit with instructions in the form of drawings. It is easy to mount (3 pieces and two Phillips screws). The product is well packed but there were some scratches on the shiny part that is painted gray, and paint is chipped on one of the 2 balls up towards the handle. The seller offered me a discount on the price. This is what I found as better value for money in my budget and my aesthetic criteria - so I do not regret my purchase.
