These chairs are just what we were looking for. We ordered 6. Only one came with a small imperfection in the curved wood arm rest. We got the 24 inch height. The shorter back allows the chair to swivel under the kitchen counter overhang and does not hit the counter. The chairs are fairly light weight so easy to move around. The only suggestion involves the assembly directions. They could have been a bit more instructive. For example: we did not realize the metal stabilizing foot rest had holes in one side and that side should have faced the floor until we had 3 put together and realized 2 had the holes facing up so were visible. Directions would have saved us the time of redoing. Otherwise the chairs were easy to assemble. Overall we are enjoying these chairs.
