I received the set early without any damage. I ordered the purple and was very pleased with the color and the chair set. The ottoman/footstool was ready to go all I had to do was install the base which took approximately 15-20 minutes. There are 5 bolts included. The chair is light and would probably tip over rather easily if someone leaned on the back. It looks great with my mid-century sofa and leather chairs. The seat is not overly padded but I am comfortable sitting in it. It is not a chair for a larger person. I have been stalking this chair for quite some time so I was very excited to get it. It won't last forever but it looks great in my LR.
