Item arrived undamaged and fully assembled in a huge box ! Chair is light but heavy at the same time. I am using it for outdoors so I am confident it wont blow away. I have metal outdoor park bench that matches this perfectly. Just didnt have enough seating. I wouldnt say this is the most comfortable chair and I wish it had arms...but neither is my metal bench.....its metal! I do love it and it will be used almost everyday. One of my best purchases on wayfair..something I really needed. Thank you!
