I bought two chairs with canvas upholstery. The boxes were form fitting, meaning that the corners of the boxes were not at right angles. Although the boxes were oddly shaped, the boxes adequately protected the contents. The assembly and instructions were easy, but the metal brackets connecting the seat to the legs were not curved shaped to match the roundness of the seat bottom, but straight. I had to play around with the bracket to ensure that all legs connected to the seat at complementary angles. The chair seems sturdy nevertheless. The canvas upholstery has a broad weave and I suspect it will be easily be soiled, but I like the look. Although the construction of the chairs does not appear to be durable when assembling them, the chairs, once assembled, seem and look sturdy. Overall, I'm very pleased with the purchase.
