The bar stools haven't been assembled yet but I wanted to comment on the excellent manner in which the parts were packaged and delivered.  All pieces were securely wrapped with protective materials,  parts were separated with cardboard,  corrugated cardboard was packed along the sides to eliminate shifting of the contents, the hardware, sealed in plastic,  was firmly attached to cardboard and secured to the box by a red ribbon.   The box containing the parts was in perfect shape. We are very impressed, in marked contrast to a shipment from a different website which we had to return.  I will review the chairs themselves when they have been assembled.
