I can’t say enough good things about these chairs! They look authentically aged! Incredibly sturdy chairs that were packed with extreme care. Well worth the investment. They come two to a box… The boxes are not too heavy… But there is a lot of packing material with each box. If you don’t mind disposing of all of it, there’s no need for in-house delivery... but if you don’t want to deal with disposal, I would recommend having the delivery people doing the unpacking and hauling the trash away.
