Trunk came well packaged in multiple layers of foam wrap, brown paper, bubble wrap, styrofoam protecting corners, and heavy boxing...no nicks, scratches or scuffs! Delivery person rang my bell and ran, so although the box had stickers all over it saying to "Inspect before signing", I did not have the opportunity to inspect or sign for it! Fortunately, all was fine.
The craftsmanship on this trunk is excellent with perfect joints and lid alignment. Sheesham wood is beautiful without wood filler, cracks, blemishes, or defects. Only minus, which seems temporary, is a strong, fresh, urethane/finish odor inside the trunk. The odor does seem to be dissipating after leaving the lid up to air out. Overall, this is a great find especially if you love or collect Sheesham wood furniture!
