Don't know where you live but from our area to China its going to be
approx 7k miles.

BTW, much of your furniture is now made in China... I have a very nice
Drexel Heritage Armoire which I found was made in China... the sales guy
said it was cheaper to make there and ship to the US than to make it
in the US.

Go figure :-)
