I had to have Amazon replace it 3 times as the glass arrived cracked each time.....I believe mad in Guatemala.....

Mine arrived with a crack in the body of the bottle. They do need better packaging.

Packaging was very weak, in fact I had to return the item after it arrived broken. I was really bummed, as it looked as nice as the pic. Not sure where it was made. If you shipped overseas it would arrive in a couple dozen pieces unless they have significantly improved the wrapping and protection in the box.

To be honest, the first one I ordered broke in the mail. I returned it for another and it was fine. The issue is the spout portion. I would repackage it and ship it via an insured courier (UPS). Hope it helps

I don't quite remember how it was boxed but it was not broken when we received it. It seems like it had the bubble wrap tapped all around it.

I got mine packaged in the original factory box. It was packaged very well, double thick cardboard with a bunch of molded styrofoam. Very sturdy box. The company amazon used to deliver was great too. Delivery guys were good about keeping it vertical. They helped me un-box and took away the trash I didn't want. Kept the box and some of the styrofoam for future moves.

I saved the packaging but I can't put my hands on it. iirc it is offshore though.

Hello DB, It came in a box labled made in Taiwain but like I said in the review the quality looks OK. Too bad we can't buy USA manufactured stuff anymore. Have a good day.

Hi. It doesn't state where it was manufactured however; it is very sturdy and well made. I'm very satisfied with this item.

Sry, I did not pay attention. Package was gone a while ago. Seems to be made with quality. Quite Sturdy.

It has been a while since we got this item and we did not keep the packing material that came with it. I do not know where it was made but it has held up very well.

No the packing issue was still present when I received mine..... The trucking company basically tossed it off the truck without even telling me.... Th cardboard was basically disintegrated and all that was left was the 2 nylon straps holding the pieces together... I opened what was left and put it together and partner I will tell you it is so worth it...no damage and a great sturdy table that I use constantly....the price is what intrigued me.....I am a chef and put it in my outdoor kitchen...just perfect....I would say take the chance...you know amazon will stand behind it if damaged

It's a product by Joie, which is an American based company (I think in LA?) but they also do have an import division so I can't be sure where it is technically manufactured. However I can tell you it is not flimsy plastic like what is typical of overseas products, it's very heavy plastic, very strong and thick, very good quality for a plastic made utensil.

usa law requires the package to say where it was made. i did not keep the packaging.but for sure you can bet it was china, pacrim, mexico, or similar. these days it is often assembled in one country and parts come from many others so where it is made is nebulous.i would worry about the warranty not who made it.

I never had a problem with packaging or putting the product together. I thought it was of good quality and its been over a year now and my daughter is very rough with it and its still in perfect condition. We love it.

Hello, I would rate the packaging as about average. What I would consider is if you have had packages in the past that look to have been treated above average in harshness when they were shipped to your location I think you may have an issue with this packaging. I did have a slight damage to one of my boxes but not product damage but I can see where this packaging would not hold up to an above average level of treatment. Normally boxes shipped to my location have not seen any damage.

I'm sorry I couldn't find where it was made. I've had it for a while and thoroughly enjoy using it. If where it's made is a deal breaker whether you buy it, I can't help. If it doesn't matter, then buy it. You'll be very pleased!

They ship form Hong Kong. usually really cheap stuff is shipped for there. But it necessarily doesn't mean it will be a bad product.

It is packaged well and shipped UPS. However, the first one arrived in a million pieces. It was easy to repackage. UPS picked it up to ship back. The second one arrived AOK and I really like it.

They have packed it well in a second box. Box inside is the original packaging. I have no problems with them I have 2 now.

Mine came in a sturdy box, which I use to store it in my home. I do not travel with it..so I can not advice on transporting it. It is not a heavy item, but the length makes it ackward. The precision in cutting corners is amazing. No over cutting. The matting is very attractive after it has been cut.
