This was a gift for my parents in Florida and I had it shipped directly to them. They said it WOULD be beautiful except that it arrived with a completely shattered base. It was packaged very poorly with some skinny pieces of styrofoam and one tiny "fragile" sticker on a corner of one side of the box. Obviously not enough warning for shipping personnel. I now have to pursue a replacement or a refund with Wayfair I guess.  Not the special surprise I was hoping for!
