Exceptionally well packaged. Boxes were not China cardboard. As a result, everything arrived in excellent condition.  Assembly took less time than it took to get everything unpacked. Again thanks to the packaging. Instructions are clear. Read them. First chair to 30 minutes. Fourth chair took 6 minutes. ??? Get up off the floor and assemble on a table or bench. Do not tighten screws until all are in place and tightened to 90% or so. Set it on the floor and wiggle it around to make sure that all legs touch the floor then tighten. Quality is excellent or above for the price point. Chairs sit taller than expected which is good if you are older or have had back surgery. Looks good, sits good and sturdy.
