These chairs are so beautiful in person. We got 6 and they all arrived in perfect condition. They arrived two in a box and were packaged very well with lots of padding on the sides of the wood.  We chose these specific ones because they sit higher at 18 inches than other chairs listed here and we wanted something that would be suitable for the dining table. The seat is a bit hard, but that isn't an issue for us. The entire chair feels very sturdy and I am very happy with the quality.
