While the piece is absolutely beautiful, the packaging was a complete mess. It seems like the styrofoam surrounding the “L” pieces melted together, and it became a hardened mess to try and peel off. When I opened the box, other broken styrofoam immediately littered the floor and the bags holding the small parts were ripped open, causing small screws to scatter. If I would have known what kind of mess this was going to cause, I would have thought twice about ordering this item. It’s a shame that opening the box was such a negative experience because the piece is stunning.
