I purchased this and have kept it in storage. This item is unassembled. I will wrap the outer box in bubble wrap and place it in a plastic bag for shipping. This will be a simple packaging, so please refrain from purchasing if you are at all concerned about dents or damage to the box that may occur during delivery. Please refrain from purchasing if you are concerned about minor stains or scratches. Please do not leave comments such as, "I'm considering buying this, but if you're willing to lower the price, how much would you be willing to go down?" I will not respond to requests for price reductions.
