I have to give kudos to the manufacturer for a great job on packaging these chairs - the boxes and chairs (most importantly) arrived damage-free. The color and finish matched the description and photos provided. Assembly was pretty straight forward; attach the seat cushion to the chair back, and the front legs to the seat cushion. The seat cushions are pretty firm, but not uncomfortably so. The chairs are pretty lightweight, but they don't feel flimsy. Overall, for the price point, I think these chairs are a good value. We shall see how they fare over time and use.
