These chairs definitely exceeded my expectations. The pair arrived completely assembled in 1 box with white slip covers over them to protect the fabric. The covers are reusable for a later move. The chairs themselves are a nice, rustic fabric with attractive striping and nice studded details. And the chairs are a more generous size than I expected. Not super tall but the seat is generous and the style is very comfortable to sit in for both eating and playing games at the table! Highly recommend these for style, quality and comfort!
