Received for boxes that I thought, no way could enough wood for an Adirondak fit in there. But, I was wrong. The product is nicely packaged and no damage occurred during the very timely shipment! I ordered the natural wood which I then decided to treat, before assembly, with Danish Wood oil. For four chairs, it took me about two hours to rub down all the pieces. Assembly was fast with a power drill, took about 10 minutes per chair. They are amazingly sturdy and the oil really brought out the colors in the Ceder. I may be buying more shortly.
