We bought 2 of these light teal chairs for our foyer space. We wanted something conversational, so not deep seating. These are a little firm, which aids the conversational concept. For our purposes, they were a little tall, so we cut just under 2" off of the legs. We also plan to sand down the solid wood legs and stain them beachy style. I'm not sure why 90% of chairs on the market have dark legs So far everyone likes them and we've gotten a lot of compliments. For the color, our floors are european clear stained red oak (so not the yellow tinted oak clear coats) and our walls are a rather neutral gray. We get lots of natural light so no lights were on when I took the picture.
