This is a very beautiful wreath. All shells were intact.. Packed in a wooden crate like box secured very good. I was very impressed with the shipping. I bought a can of matte clear coat to spray on both sides of the wreath to prevent it from shedding as it will. The coating helps keep everything stay put for longer wear and tear and adds more natural color too!! This product is well worth the money...It’s a beautiful add to our house since we live in Hawaii!!
