The chair arrived 3 days early and exceeds our expectations in all ways.  It arrived carefully packaged as one piece.  No scuffs or unravelling anywhere and seems well made. We already had lovely cushions from our previous chairs that fit it perfectly.  We're a normal sized, fit, retired couple and the chair is wonderfully comfortable for both of us; great support in both seat and back, and is also made to be a good distance from the floor for comfortable long term sitting.  While it is not real wicker, it looks like it is and seems like it will definitely be more durable than wicker.  We are thrilled with this chair!!  Don't hesitate to purchase it.
