I’m being serious when I say this is how the box arrived. I was worried there would be more damage but thankfully there were just a few tear marks. The table itself is perfect, expect an hour or so to put together. There was one piece missing which I’ll probably just go to Home Depot to buy, probably just slipped out of the broken box. At first I thought it was a shipping issue and was just handled roughly, but after seeing everyone else having the same issues I can see it’s the sellers problem. The box itself and the protective styrofoam are thin and flemsy, so it’s a gamble how yours will arrive. Nonetheless, beautiful table so giving it 3 stars.
