I absolutely love these chairs!!! I loved the stock photos of them but who can really tell with those. It was the other reviews and the reviewer photos that helped seal my decision. These chairs are smaller but still comfortable. They came packed really well and wrapped up. There was not a single scratch, knick, ding, nothing on these chairs. I've included photos of how they were packed so you can see. They were beyond easy to put together. The seat of the chair just gets screwed into the base. That's it....4 screws and you've got a lovely sturdy chair (photo of the instructions included). I put the chair on the base first to make sure I had it right and then I screwed it together. My brother was kind enough to "model" for me. He's 6 feet tall so you can get a sense of the size of the chair. These chairs are so comfy and sturdy. The fabric is faux leather and feels really nice. The crystals look so nice too. I really can't explain to you how much I love these chairs!!!
