While this is a very nice design concept, and is visually balanced, the fabrication combined with shipping is problematic. We just took delivery of the item, in a non-reinforced box, and it was mostly damaged. UPS ground had crushed it during transit. However, you cannot blame UPS, rather, the manufacture did not provide sufficient protection or reinforcement within the box. Nor did Great Offer Stock give consideration to its peril as to double box to assure safe delivery. The item delivered bent aggressively in the middle, paint is scraped off at various points on the scrolled metal, while a couple key welded points were broken. We still hung it on the wall, bent up, because we dont want the hassle of shipping back. It stands as a sad commentary regarding shipping protocol for the manufacturer and Great Offer Stock.
