This is a great little chair to use as an accent. I know many folks have mentioned it's a bit low and a bit stiff....the seating height isn't low, you're not straining to get in and out! It's that the back and the arms are bit low, so you feel like you're a bit unstructured up top, if that makes sense. You're not sinking into the chair, both due to the stiffness of the seat and the height of the arms. Just adding context for anyone who's curious - it's an awesome chair. Took me 10 minutes to set up on my own, the colour and quality are just what I had hoped for and it's a great chair for the price.
