I loved the reviews of these bar seats, and after having this item sit in my cart for a lengthy time, I decided to purchase them. Shipping was faster than indicated, which was a plus. However, the box was rather large with all the pieces jammed in there. It looks like the wooden legs were scraped up or hit in certain spots on each of the chair legs. I let it go, because honestly, whos looking down there. The chair seats themselves have a weird smell and are very hard and stiff. Almost like they were wet and then air dried in the packaging. This could very well be true because nothing was wrapped in plastic (only the chair legs in a very thin bubble wrap). I really wanted to love the chairs because they look great/but only from far away unfortunately. I have been unsuccessful finding a box to return because the box they came in was thin and partly torn and tapped up when it got to me and cannot be used again without fear everything will fall through. Im stuck with these chairs now I guess.
Meh, really hoped Id love this set
