We were looking for something contemporary to match our metal and galvanized steel end tables.  These match perfectly.  Easy to put together.  It only look my husband 45 minutes to put four chairs together.  They came packed in heavy-duty cartons and plenty of packing to protect the chairs.  They are sturdy and look great.  The construction is also very good.  We have a friend that is a retired welder and he even commented on the quality of the construction.
