The item is in fair condition as I bought it used a while ago. There is a possibility that delicate parts like the corners and ears may break or bend during shipping. Therefore, I ask for no claims regardless of the condition. As shown in the photos, I've built a wooden frame for shipping. It won't tip over even if laid on its side. It's secured with three screws at the bottom. I will use bubble wrap to keep it from moving. I will ship it in a cardboard box.
