The reviews I read were great, but I'm still often not sure about purchasing items like this online. Wow! What a surprise! The packages arrived in about 3 days and everything was packed very well. There was NOT a scratch or dent or even the slightest damage from transit. They are perfect for our French Country Table and arrived EXACTLY as described. They are substantial, sturdy, and sanded perfectly smooth making them ready to stain or paint. The instructions were great and the chairs were very easy to assemble. The only thing I will add on my own are felt pads to the bottom of the legs to protect my wood floors. I highly recommend these chairs.

Pros: Sturdy, Beautiful Wood, Easy to Assemble, Great Instructions
