These chairs are for people that are short.  I am 5 feet tall and when sitting on it, the back is not high enough to lean on.  It's not comfortable and it's too stiff.  I was going to return the 2 chairs but decided to keep them.  I will eventually give them away.  I am only using for decoration at this point.  I had guests over and they didn't even want to sit on them as they are not comfortable and their backs are hanging out (kind of funny).
