These three arrived well packed and protected, even though two of the outer boxes were squashed by carrier.  I am very happy with these.  They are very comfortable, and the seat and back are wider than I expected, so that's a bonus for my big husband.  I think the assembly instructions could be better, and I advise you to look online at Amisco website for video before assembly, once you've used a rubber mallet to insert the feet.  The rest isn't that difficult, but the video is much easier to understand than the leaflet that came in the box.   Otherwise, they are really stylish and functional.
