These chairs came in a nice sturdy box, wrapped in plastic and in perfect condition (I had read other reviews that had different experiences). The chairs swivel smoothly, the fabric is nice and overall my choice fits the space in our greatroom that I was looking to fill- to be used mostly as seating for conversing, reading, watching out the window to unwind. My family are built tall, everyone even my husband fits comfy in them! Great purchase since they came in a set of 2!
