We purchased 4 of these chairs and received the items on December 15, 2016, 5 days earlier than originally anticipated. We are very pleased with our purchase and these chairs are everything we hoped that they would be. Quality, fabric, and functionality are superb.  The setup was very easy and the most time was the unpacking of the items. The chairs that were replaced were not discarded. They were four and in very good shape. We donated them to a family that could not have afforded this type and to say the least the family is very happy to have received them.
