Since we are in the middle of kitchen remodel; we haven't used the new chairs.  We did open each box and they seem to be well packaged. Didn't notice any damage to shipping cartons or the chairs. We're going to build a farmhouse table.  These black chairs will match well, with the black chandelier and sconces we purchased from Wayfair. They're just BEAUTIFUL!  We purchased the chairs early because you had a sale--which was WONDERFUL!  Can't wait to use them.   Thanks so much for your fast service and shipping.  Jayne Riley
