This arrived at my home in a box marked "fragile".  The UPS delivery had bent it nearly into a V shape.  There was no internal support inside the box, so, no wonder.  I was able to get it mostly straightened out without breaking it.  Several of the leaves, which are about 3" long, were also bent over completely.  As these were painted over, this couldn't have happened during the rough delivery.  This looks OK on my wall, as long as you don't look too closely.
