Short! Take note of the measurements. I ended up putting this in my bedroom instead of the living room because it looks tiny in a large room. Other than the height, it is a nice chair. The fabric feels like smooth linen and has slightly variegated green  threads. More of a dark spring green than a forest green (not as dark as I would like and much brighter). The legs are a medium reddish tone. Surprisingly comfortable with a wide seat and the curved back. I like it, but am glad I got it half off-not worth full price, imo.
