I'm quite happy with these. We have a 47" rectangle table and two of them won't fit next to one another on one side, but that's fine. they also sit slightly higher than 18" from the floor; the cushion is very firm and the pads probably add slightly to the height. Our legs fit under the table but I can't put my feet up on the chair opposite. Obviously none of this has affected my review. These chairs were well packaged, easy to put together by myself (about 15-20 minutes each), and are lightweight but sturdy enough for my 250lb, 6' husband. We love our small dining nook and look forward to many family meals here!
