Items came individually wrapped with the chair legs protected from getting scratched. Color of the legs look exactly like the picture. However, the leather stitching are squares but in the picture online to me at least they appeared more like darts. So, I was a bit surprised, but overall I am very happy with them for the price. Additionally, they were easy to assemble with tool for assembly included in the box. Chairs also seem very sturdy. The base and legs of chairs are metal. I needed I would buy them again.
