These chairs are GIANT. I am 5'4" and my feet don't touch the ground when I sit all the way back. The backs of the chairs are slightly reclined backwards. I can't fit 6 chairs around my 60" round table because the seats are so large and wide. You do have to assemble the chairs, and some of the holes did not line up. I wish i could return them. You can see some of the staples on the edges of the upholstery.
