Wayfair aways delivers! The chairs come (2) in a box, in pieces. All of the parts were in the box and were well packed and in perfect shape. Easy to assemble, once complete the chairs are sturdy. I chose the black with natural cherry seat, the contrast suits my decor in the dining room, as my dining table is cherrywood and my accents are black. I ordered a total of 4 chairs. They exceed my expectations.
