Pebble Lane Living 2 Tier Concrete Outdoor Patio Console Buffet Table with Lower Shelf

I was disappointed to receive this console table with the concrete cracked. Another review stated the same and while I was hesitant, I loved the look of the table and purchased it anyways. Unfortunately I had to send it back, but was quickly issued a refund.

This is a super cute product and perfect for my tiny urban deck HOWEVER - the packaging is insufficient for the product. Before I purchased I read how many had received a broken item and it made me pause but I decided to take my chances because I liked it so much. Of course, mine was broken too and I attribute it to shoddy packaging. The content packaging is fine, but the shipping packing is too loose with insufficient padding material to keep it from shifting around during transit. The box looked like it went through a tornado. It is VERY heavy and they just simply aren't shipping it in proper packaging. Too bad, it looks just like the picture and is a very good idea, the size is perfect and would have been very useful for my space.

The two shelves are made of concrete. Ours had a crack right in the middle going from top to bottom....

I really wanted this to work as a place for a couple/few potted plants. It would have been a perfect fit for the tight space by my front door Saw other reviews about cracked shelves, but decided to take a chance. Now I have to figure out how to repack these shelves and tape up the rather thin cardboard box in which this shelving unit arrived and get this to UPS for a return. I agree with another reviewer that had they manufacturer found a better way to insulate and pack this shelving unit, perhaps the concrete would not arrive in the cracked condition - see pics. Both shelves show cracks.

The media could not be loaded.  I would not award this product any stars. It came cracked and the brackets were not welded on the same place for each set of legs. I never write negative reviews but for this I must.
