Aaaaah the dreaded box raises its corrugated head once more. I just receive Hilton Head Front Range today. Opened-unplasticized it, kept the COA put in "The Lightouse Room". I've 8 tier shelves made of blond mahogany (no need to worry about glass) and I enjoy looking them all over when I have the chance. As for the box and foam insert it went to that big orange dumpster. I onced stored the boxes but within 6 months realized they weren't worth the storage cost. Yes, I too am cutting back. Now at 276 LE's and lightships. Harbour Lights purchases are much like people- it's what's inside that counts the most.
