Absolutely delighted with this! The sellers communication around the true condition of the item was very helpful and honest, with what actually arrived reflecting really well (even better than described). The postage was very reasonable considering travelling from the US to Scotland and it was extremely well packaged and protected, given the fragile nature of the item. Fantastic value and I know the recipient will be delighted with the gift! Thank you.
