The chairs are very nice and I think I paid for 4, but am not sure.  The first chair would not go together because one leg was pre-drilled wrong.  Fortunately I discovered that I received 8 chairs instead of 4, so I used one as a spare part.  By the time I was done, I needed all 4 cartons of two, to build 4 chairs that went together.  3 chair backs were rust stained beyond cleaning, 2 legs were pre-drilled wrong, 1 cushion base did not line up properly but I was able to drill it myself to make it work.  Long story short, I have 4 very nice chairs but it required 7 chairs to build them.  Wayfair's service was great!!
