Not only was the shipping incredibly fast (didn't think we'd get them in time for the party, but they came the day before!) - the assemble was simple and straightforward. But best of all, they're gorgeous. They really do look like expensive showroom chairs for a fraction of the price. They're pretty wide in the seat, which makes them comfortable, but if you have a small table you might want to consider the measurements. We bought 6 - wish they made these exact ones with arms to keep in the living room as accent chairs and bring into the dining room when we have 8 seated.
