Shipment was fast und arrived in mint condition. The plastic wrap around the legs was a little bit hard to remove, because it was partly stuck around the joints. But other than that the patio chase is very comfortable and looks like it will last for many summers to come here in Florida by the pool. It is easy to fold, which was the main reason I bought this chase so I can store it when not in use. The prize was great, too. I am happy with my purchase.
