We purchased 6 of these in white. They were packaged well although one box came and it was extremely damaged. We took pictures of the box and asked UPS to make a note of the damage because we were sure the contents were. But they weren't!! They were easy to assemble. Took my husband about 10-15 minutes per stool. They are sturdy and well made. They are comfy too. They look fantastic at our bar.  We recommend them!
