I fully expected to have to assemble these chairs. They came very well packaged and they are perfect! I thought they may not match the table I have, due to it being an original 50's made table. However, it matches perfectly! I am absolutely in love with the chairs I purchased. They were a little more costly than I thought they would be but, after an exhaustive search of the internet I found them very reasonable and couldn't pass up the free shipping. Thank you a million times! I have been looking for vintage chairs to go with my table for a year or better. I finally decided they would " Have To Do". The chairs are more than I expected in quality as well. I am very, very happy with my purchase and can say with certainty I will be using Wayfair much , much more!!
