First of all, the box it came in is so pretty. It is not a standard brown shipping box. It's got lovely little flowers all over it. It just brightened up my day. It was packed extremely well, with plenty of cushioning and bubble wrap, and came in one lovely, beautiful piece. I can't wait to display it. I love it. If you have time to shop with this seller, I would do it because they take the time to do it right, and that means a lot nowadays.
Item is very pretty and of good quality. Very fair price, packaging was impeccable. Very thoughtful and conscientious seller who clearly cares about her business. Highly recommend and will absolutely shop here again.
The product appeared to be damaged on the corner, something that was not disclosed nor in the pictures. Very disappointing. Arrived in a Home Depot moving box.
