The height works well with our table and I find them comfortable (5'2") and my hubby took a bit to get used to them (we had parson style chairs so it's a big difference) but he finds them comfy as well (6'2"). He thinks they're a nice height for his legs and I find the seat not too long for my legs/knees. Our only complaint is the little feet at the bottom of the chairs for leveling are constandly falling out and it's impossible to get them level on our tile floors. we're not that nit-picky (we have 2 little kids) so it's fine with us, but if you're not OK with that, then this is your warning. The color is nice. it's definitely "baseball glove brown" but it goes really well with out table (also from Wayfair)
