it's 2 chairs in one box, sitting on top of each other, which is not a good idea, as then each seat has dents/imprints from the back of another chair. the material is velvet, so it crushes easily already, and the pressure of another chair's weight also dents the padding inside. had the chairs for over a week now and the dents are not filling out, so it seems it's permanent. not quite impressed with that. overall, the chair itself looks ok, but the overall stitching finish is not of high quality. overall, they do the job, but they are not as nice as I imagined. considering the quality it's not good value for money at all.
