It arrived all put together, one jumbo box. The chair was not wrapped as the thousand other items I have purchased from Wayfair, wrapped to go to the moon, it was a box within a box, no Styrofoam, but the chair had a dust cover on it. Perfect. BEAUTIFUL! I ordered Muslin Beige, it looks dark in the web photo, but it is similar to a dark cream. Fabulous! I think it is way nicer in person. The bottom cushion is very cushy/comfy, the back is firm. I bought a small rectangle lumbar pillow for the chair, but it is too big, it needs to be smaller. A small lumbar pillow would make the chair perfect in comfort. I am so happy.
