Took a chance ordering this since it was a returned item.  Don't know how it arrived in one piece because it was in the original box with the original Styrofoam packing.  I had to take it outside because some of the Styrofoam had broken down to teeny, tiny beads!  It was all over the place and I literally had to wipe everything then shake out the towel.  The beads were all over but at least outside.  The only thing I might do between the glass balls is apply some nautical rope which will look great at the beach condo.
