Smooth as mayonaise 👍
Great art, and the method of packaging the piece was beyond exemplary, it was in itself a second work of art-truly outstanding. Thanks so much guys! 💗 💗 💗

Furniture As Described and Arrived in good shape
Wright Auction is amazing and they offer really good examples. The LiveAuctioneers shipping was a bit slow and but fine although I don't really like the use of peanuts for packing because they create a big mess and hassle. Perhaps air pillows would be a lot nicer for the environment and easier to manage.
