I had to wait two times for this to come back into stock before I ordered. I am glad I toughed out the waiting and didn't settle for anything else. This is the perfect statement piece in my living room. It adds a nice shape and unique texture to the room, amplifying the design aspect I was going for. We can easily move it around on the carpet to put it closer to the couch - it is very light. Comes in a box wrapped with protective cloth and as is. Product is exactly as pictured
