The stools arrived quickly and were well packaged with two stools per box. The back and legs were well protected with packaging material. They needed the glides to be put on each leg which was easy to do. They are sturdy, heavy so not to blow over and well constructed. I have only one concern is that even thought it was well packaged there were a few chips in the paint on the upper back. I wrote to All Modern and they contacted the seller and will be sending out a bottle of matching touch up paint. Very helpful. I would order again.
