The package arrived in shambles. Corners of the box were all ripped up, the Styrofoam was all over the place as if maybe mice were chewing it up or something. This was actually the 2nd one I had sent to me because  the 1st one was damaged and returned  to sender. Since we had waited so long we didn't want to send it back again. There were a couple nicks and chips. It is a beautiful piece, and I love the size.. I wish it had come in better shape.
