The chairs arrived perfectly packed.  They were easy to assemble and look nice in my space. I rated it 4 stars because I felt the quality was just ok and they aren't super comfortable.  They are perfect for small spaces and sitting for shorter periods of time, but not necessarily for cozying up with a book.  I needed small chairs for my space and wanted to create conversation seating so it fit the bill for that. The color is not a pure white.  It is more of an ivory.
