The chair is very attractive, and the fabric is soft and comfortable.  The seat cushion is a bit stiff, but I assume it will soften with use and that will make the seat not so high as well.  When tipped back, it's very comfortable, but the tip-back is a bit tight - you really have to slam your back into the chair to get it to start...I think it will get better with use.  Edit: 2 weeks later... nope.  seat cushion is way to tall and stiff, and tipping back is almost impossible. Seat is so tall, when I sit, my feet don't touch the floor... and I'm not short.. 5'6". It's a pretty chair to look at but very uncomfortable.  Returning.
