The chairs arrive well packaged with no damage.  They look like the color in the picture ( I also purchased grey) and are comfortable to sit in.  Very contemporary.  The only trouble is that I purchased them because our table is high, and seat height description states 19.1" when they are 18 3/8".   I was able to purchase slider pads from ACE hardware to bring them up another 1/4".  Very comfortable to sit in. They add a nice contemporary, and elegant look to the dining room.
