Love the design of this chair!  The 25" height, the width of the seat and back are perfect!  You will need a phillips screw driver and a hex key screw driver for better control when assembling chairs.  Took me about 35 minutes each chair to assemble. Also I recommend purchasing chair leg caps to protect your floors as the wooden legs will sit directly on the floor and will wear down with regular use.   I am currently redecorating my family room and kitchen.  The black did not work with my design.  No problem.  repainted the chairs a copper brown. Uses 1 can of spray paint for each chair.  I reapholstered the seats in fabric heritage house windsong pattern to match my window valances and receive nothing but compliments!  Posted pictures of the before and after.  I encourage creativity on these chairs.  Youll love them!
