I've always been weary of ordering ceramic, porcelain , glass or otherwise highly fragile items online but had to have this! It arrived with no issues. I have a low sofa so it worked perfectly as a side table for me. Beautiful shine to the finish. Be sure to check the cleaning instructions - chemical cleaners can damage the finish. If I ever get tired of it being a side table it's going to look great with a large fern on it. Highly recommend.
