This was packaged very well. Now I will say that the screws, nuts and washers are cheap. So be careful screwing them in, you don’t want to strip them. The base is nice and heavy but the arms are plastic. It’s a very comfortable chair but I’m not 100 sure if it will hold up over time. My husband weighs about 280 and it almost flipped on him. Now I weigh about 160 and I had no issues. Now I will say that it’s very comfortable. The seat is nice and cushiony. I just wish they would have used some stronger material for the arms and better nuts and washers. Overall it’s nice. I would recommend for someone that’s under 200lbs.
