No joke, THIS is how the box showed up...tore up, open, and surprisingly it was Fed Ex who delivered. The driver just dropped that torn up opened box on our porch. The unit was totally damaged - but I give 2 stars because Wayfair's return process is so easy, and I didn't have to send it back! The even nicer thing, if you can find a positive in all this, they offer links to donation places if the item isn't too damaged for someone else. I unfortunately chose not replace because I couldn't risk it being delivered the same way again - this was for guests coming to visit soon. This looks like a really nice piece if it wasn't so broken...
