The piece itself is BEAUTIFUL.  It was packed well and arrived damage free. The carving is lovely and looks much more expensive than what I paid.  As others have noted the color shown online was VERY different from what I received. What I got was MUCH darker - the edges of the frame were charcoal/black and the center portion was white with charcoal/black rubbing.  It's really lovely so it was worth a few hours of my time to sand/repaint/stain the piece to the colors I wanted (and thought I was purchasing).  It looks fantastic in our home.  (The photo attached is after we repainted/stained it.)
