I am absolutely horrified by the way this thing was packaged, surprisingly nothing was broken. The glass was just thrown in without any wrapping, and any styrofoam that was in it was all shred to pieces. I had to take my vacuum hose to it before taking the parts out, it was that bad. Furthermore, it was extremely dirty and dusty - it took me just as long to clean it as it did to put it together. This isn't a quality item by any means, very low quality. But it suits my needs, it actually looks nice with all of my crystal glassware and tea set passed down to me from my Grandmothers.
