This chair has the perfect seat height of 18” , as some chairs have a seat height that is too low, and too difficult to stand up from. The cushion also adds comfort. I liked this chair as  it is only 16” wide , allowing it to be slid under the end of my narrow work table in my kitchen.  The chair is constructed from extremely hard wood and is very sturdy.  Perfect for a small space yet very strong and durable. The included instructions to build the chair were easy to follow, taking this 75 years young female about 40 minutes to put together. There are 2 chairs, so another 40 minutes to complete.
