These are 30" to the top of the seat assembled.  We are using them in our current home until we move, but they are meant for higher island countertops, which our next home has, and they're perfect for that.  I was shocked how high quality they are, but they take forever to assemble.  We bought 5 and it took all day because some of the screws are in weird places that are hard to get to.  The color is not bright white, like I was expecting, it's more of an off-white, and they are distressed on the edges, which I was also not expecting.  My husband loved the look though, so we kept them and love them.  I'm kind of glad they're distressed because the kids swivel them and they hit the granite.  So far, though, no damage to the chairs :)  They're hard wood.  We love them and get lots of compliments on them.  

Pros: beautiful, high quality
Cons: take forever to assemble
