I was really excited to get this piece but when I first got it, it was obvious at first look that the package was damaged. I opened up the box and the first two pieces I pulled out were either dented at the corners or pieces were broken off. Although this has mostly to do with the shipping process, the material is easy to break and the package could have been secured better to eliminate this as a concern. I have had lots of furniture shipped in this manner and never had this happen.

On top of that, I now have to figure out how to return this extremely heavy box that is difficult to move even with two people.
