I received my order in a very timely manner and my choice of stand turned out to be exactly what I needed for my project although I wasn?t certain of it from the picture and description online. My disappointment is that the packaging was literally nothing but cardboard. No bubble wrap. No support or protection of any kind. So consequently the box was totally open and demolished by the time it arrived to my office. It was in such shambles that the delivery man was apologizing. The pole was bent, but I managed to bend it back into place in order to not have to go through the whole ordeal of packaging and returning the stand.
