The table was nice but the packaging was a nightmare. I start by receiving my package early this morning. It was a decent winters day, not too cold, not too windy. I bring my package to my room where i then begin to open this complete unit of a box. I shed the first layer of box to reveal a smaller much uglier box from the seller i would assume. Cracking into this second layer almost felt like christmas! (foreshadowing) I was so excited to put my new endtable together and finally get the old one out of my house for good. I pull the top off of the travesty of a box when all hell breaks loose. Little bits of Styrofoam fly everywhere static cling wrap stuck to my floor my walls even my poor defenceless cats. They ran and clawed as the Styrofoam and static wrap took hold but they too would succumb to the terror that was in the air. As the Styrofoam dust settle i thought i had lived through the war that was waging in my bedroom but oh how young and naive i was. I peel back the first layer of wrap only to find reinforcements hiding inside. Like a modern day trojan horse, and i believed it, i fell fool for this trickery that was infront of me, but... I decided to soldier on. Peeling back layer after layer, shelf after shelf i have finally managed to unpackage this accent table ... But at what cost. My cat lay in the corner licking his wounds like a lion set loose in a snowstorm only to be beaten by a bear. My room left in shambles looking like the set of frosty the snowmans first adult movie, and there i lay motionless wondering where i had gone wrong in this world to deserve such ruin, such travesty in my life ... But over all 4 out of 5 good nightstand
