Recently purchased eight of these chairs in silver. They arrived via FedEx about a week later, sooner than expected. I have done a LOT of online comparison shopping over the last couple months, and to me, these were the absolute best deal. My favorite high end furniture store carries the same chair at four to five times the price. It is sturdy and very comfortable. It did take my husband and I about half an hour to assemble one chair and we are still in the assembly process, but for the price savings, value, and comfort, it's worth the elbow grease. There are some very minor upholstery flaws in the welting, but not enough to be upset about. These beautiful chairs are highly recommended for people like me on a budget, who still want a designer look for their homes.
