This set of 4 bar height stools came in one box, neatly stacked, and properly protected which led to no damage upon arrival . i've had guests as light as 40 pounds and heavy as 260 pounds sit on these with no problems. i have them outdoors and they are simple to wipe clean. the center opening in the seat makes them easy to pick up and move as they are very light. the coating on them seems very durable, but since summer is over it's hard to tell how they will handle the harsh az summer sun. when i'm ready to purchase more from wayfair, i'll certainly have no hesitation.
