Packed well. I got the faux leather version as I was afraid the velvet material would just be a pet hair magnet. Wish it came in different fabric or in real leather, but nice for the price. Had to attach legs, which was pretty easy except that one of the screws wouldn’t catch the thread due to some wood was crammed into the threads in the hole in chair. I had to scrape it out with a knife in order to get the one leg screwed in. Seems sturdy. Nice chair overall.
