EXTREMELY well packaged. Each chair was wrapped AND seperated by bubble wrap. Each leg was foam wrapped. The "hardware" bag and wooden seats were secured firmly to the bottom foam bracket and there was a tip side foam bracket as well. This could have been thrown off a 10 foot roof and I feel would still not sustain any damage. The stools were easy to assemble, the INCLUDED rubber foot stoppers was an unexpected and welcomed suprise. Looks amazing, durable and would definitely recommend across the board. To be honest, I would have paid MORE for these stools seeing how they are built, made and packaged.
