I have been admiring this piece for a few months, nervous about ordering because it is so fragile  (I have absolutely no patience and the thought of possibly having to return it if it should arrive damaged, kept me from ordering..).  I am SO GLAD I took a chance!  It arrived in tact and as beautiful as the photo.  I will say that as other reviewers mentioned, it is a bit grey, but nothing that a bit of chalk paint to distress  (my personal favorite) cannot correct.  I will be happy to post a photo when complete.  Very happy with my purchase!
