This jewelry armoire was extremely well packaged. The mirror was completely encased in Styrofoam with corner protectors, the base pieces and shelves were wrapped individually, and the mirror itself was wrapped in plastic and had a protective film over it. I am very impressed with how this was packaged, and in terms of the mirror and stand, it arrived in perfect condition. However, I am giving this armoire four-stars because the one of the springs within the built-in battery pack for the LED lights was crushed and extremely sharp and poked a hole the battery. I am personally choosing not to use the LED lighting for the aforementioned reason. For me, not having the LED lighting isn't a big deal. The armoire was easy to put together but I did need another person to help build it since the mirror comes assembled (aside from the base) and is heavy. Overall, the armoire has great storage for jewelry, and I love the bonus shelving along the back of the mirror.
