I received these chairs on Thursday 7/29/21 and took them out of the box on 7/30/21 in the morning. They were packaged well in the box and are very soft. It took less than 5 minute to  slide the back on the base. They are very comfortable and amazingly soft. They were a perfect fit for my husband who is 6 ft tall. I am 5 ft and my feet does not touch the floor when sitting correctly which makes it  a little difficult to swivel and get the chair out of the lounging positions without sliding forward to get my feet to touch the floor to push the foot rest back to it's position. (No problem at all for my husband).  He loves the chair and so do I. They are excellent for tall persons and a little more difficult to swivel for people 5 ft and above. No problem with rocking  and reclining in the two positions. Overall, I love these chairs and highly recommend the soft, plush and beautiful chairs.  Sylvia Clark, Dallas, TX
