Not quite high enough for a drafting chair and the measurement doesn't account for seat squish or anything. Not really fitting with my drafting desk unless I have something under the wheels to bring it up another inch or so. I might take the wheels off entirely and put the chair on a higher platform to make this work.

During assembly, almost none of the arm and seat screws go in all the way. No matter how many times I align anything, only one is okay. Glad I got this steeply discounted, otherwise this chair is definitely not worth full price. The arms jiggle where they meet with the seat, but not too much.

Delivery was also a day earlier than Wayfair showed so the expensive item sat in a public place for about a day without any notification from anyone about it.
