Clever packaging, entire set came in 2(!) boxes.  Took me about 1.5 hrs to assemble.  Helpful if you have a socket wrench or a power screwdriver.  Color is great on the wicker, deep brown with some mottling so it doesn't look completely solid and fake.  It is a bit smaller in size than I expected. A large 200+ pound person would probably not be comfortable in these chairs.  Picture on our new back deck
