Since the color claret had been discontinued before I could purchase additional items (other than place settings), I was worried that these XL Bistro bowls might arrive damaged if not packaged properly or if the box was tossed onto my porch by a delivery person who was rushing to finish their route. Unfortunately we experienced both scenarios (more than once!) when we ordered from department stores and internet websites other than Wayfair. This time, if my concerns became a reality, an exchange would not be an option because I bought the last 2 XL claret bowls available! Well...Wayfair protected my bowls in inches-thick layer upon layer of bubble wrap as well as other packing material to prevent any movement during the journey. WAYFAIR WAS SUPER-DEE-DUPER! (Sorry everyone, once a Preschool teacher - ALWAYS a Preschool teacher, LOL). Both bowls arrived QUICKLY  in PERFECT CONDITION! Will DEFINITELY ORDER FROM WAYFAIR AGAIN! Thank you for making my purchase “worry-free”!
