    Ojo con el embalaje
    No quiero dañar la puntuación, porque el producto me loegó bueno, pero como se puede ver en la primera foto, así fue que lo recibí, muy a pesar que el embalaje está bien diseñado, al asegurar el disco con ambos extremos, queda un espacio que de haber sido llenado con algo el artículo habría estado protegido en todo el viaje, por favor tener cuidado con este detalle
