These chairs are GORGEOUS. They are exactly as described and depicted. The seller’s swift and thorough communication helped me decide on the BIN purchase. The shipping from Colorado to North Carolina was timely and well-coordinated. The chairs arrived today, and the shipping company quickly unloaded them. The shippers were excellent in their communication about day/time of arrival. THANK YOU!!!
