Yes, they come with dents sometimes
Could be 4 stars: mine came with a corner bent inwards. I did not notice it when I originally tested it by terminating the leads onto a plug. I noticed it during installation. I decided to keep it. I can hide the imperfection by putting it on the top-side of the installation. Some information missing from the description. 1. This is 2 banks of 4 lights for a total of 8. So 2 black and 2 neutral wires. 2. There is a single hole to feed the 4 wires into a centrally located junction box. 3. I think there are slot knockouts for mounting around a central box. I did not use them (special situation). 4. There are two slots near the ends of the back bracket, about 38.5” apart. I used these to mount the fixture. My personal experience: I was replacing two separate lighting kits above a double sink vanity, so i had two junction boxes, not a single centrally located box. By a strange stroke of luck, the two boxes had mounting holes located about 38.5” away from each other. It was not perfect, but also not worth widening a mounting slot with a drill and risk a mistake. Got things lined up enough with some screws and fender washers to step the frame towards the wall. It was flush and secure. Speaking of steps, i bought some step bits. The two four-light socket banks are basically spring mounted into sets of dual-slots (maybe that will make sense if you see it - remember that not all springs are compression springs). That means they are removable. Instead of the leads all pointing towards the middle, I removed the sockets and arranged the two sets of leads to point towards the ends. I drilled some holes through the back bracket with my new step bits, installed some rubber grommets, and connected my leads into my pre-existing boxes. Actually went way simpler than i was worried about. What I like: the bulbs point out. Our old setup was 2x4=8 LED globes pointing out. Great light output. Something like 580 lumens per (dimmable). Original reno choice was 2 sets pf 3 pointing down. Loss of 2 bulbs (same bulbs) and change in orientation made the master bathroom, well, dark. This fixture gives us 8 pointing out again, with a nickel finish instead of chrome. Keeping. May add pics if i remember later. Still WIP. Read more
