The dcuk was beautiful and my dad really liked it. I was really disappointed that it did not come in the cute dcuk box. I received a dcuk, Kelley recently and the packaging was great. I thought this was really nice, because the dcuk was already "wrapped." My dad's came in a cardboard box with peanuts and not the decorative box that mine came in. I picked the same size and style, because this was a gift. I just happened to be a t my dad's house the day it arrived. Fortunately, I could wrap it, before he saw it.
