They deliver in a box which is fine but they didn't take it out of the box when they got to my home. Also the top surface was damage so they obviously didn't inspect the stand before they boxed it or they did but wasn't significant to them. I saw it right away but it wasn't significant enough for me either to go through the hassel of sending it back and my tv was on a table so I also didn't want to wait anymore. I was more disappointed that they would package a defected piece, probably the reason they just dropped it off without taking it out of the box. But the piece itself is beautiful and looks good with my 75" tv. I just know where the defect is and only those whose actually inspect the piece will see it.
