Not exactly like the picture.

Good solid fan mount for a cheesy drop ceiling. Comes with aircraft cable and all the hardware. The picture shows a turnbuckle tensioner. Nope, you have to do it the hard way by snugging up the cable and tightening the clamp nuts. That's why I gave it 4 stars. When you hang the fan on it, it sags slightly as the cable stretches tight. If it had the turnbuckle, it would've made it easier to take it up a little.
OK item.

Box isn't mounted to sturdy to cross bracket.
Bend the bracket for thicker ceilings
An Informed Buyer✓ Verified Purchase•April 4, 2016
Mine looks exactly the same as pictured, perhaps because I bought the "New Construction" box, which doesn't have the turn buckle and chain like the "Suspended Ceiling" type.
I overlooked the instruction about bending the bracket metal to fit thicker ceilings. See attached photo. It wasn't obvious at all that bending metal is the official method to do this. So I had to do the installation all over gain to make the box flushed with the ceiling. Leaving it not flushed is a NEC code violation.
The box and bracket look very sturdy and has plenty of room in case I want to add a remote controller in there later.
I'm a bit worried about having my 35 lbs fan hanging on 2 skinny screws though. I mean if these screws come loose because of the fan's continuous vibration, or if there's an impurity in the screw's metal, then the whole thing can come crushing down. I know that all of these fan boxes hang on 2 screws, but I've seen a fan box where the receiving female threads for these 2 screws were many times longer, embracing nearly the entire length of the screws. Some fan boxes also came with lock nut, which the Arlington doesn't.

Different item than what is pictured!

Product is NOT like picture, the TURNBUCKLE and CHAIN DOES IS NOT INCLUDED. Called company and they researched and found that the product changed a couple of YEARS ago to a braided cord and a small wire brace. A definite DOWNGRADE from what you see in the picture. The great news is that even though it is now made much cheaper and harder to setup, the PRICE stayed the SAME!
worked great

I had to replace a wimpy plastic light box and used this. I did have to access the attic to rip the old box out, and I installed this new one from the attic while up there (although it should be installable from beneath assuming you can shove enough of the insulation/wiring out of the way). It worked great. I did have to put some shim sticks under the legs so they would not fall through the existing hole in the drywall next to the stud. I had to cut a little more space in the drywall, but avoided cutting an entire new hole this way. The new big ceiling fan is solid and does not wobble. (Side note: I used a conventional fixture/fan box replacing a plastic box in another room, and it was much harder to install and than this guy, and it is not as level.)
