Packed well and really simple to assemble.  10 bolts and 4 screws, took all of 5 minutes to put together.  Wood finish is nice and did not see any scratches or blemishes.  Would have liked a little more padding to the cushion, but it's ok.  Wood seems a bit light leaving a little question on durability, but time will tell.  We like them and feel positive about the decision to purchase them.

Pros: Easy assembly, nice finish
Cons: would have liked more padding to seat cushion, light weight wood makes me wonder about durability
