Beautiful chairs! Good seat height but seat is very hard, minimal padding. Back is comfortable. Soft, somewhat plush feel fabric, not really what I would call "linen." 
Assembly easy but be careful with zippered compartment under seat (where legs and hardware are shipped with chair seat.) The end of the zippers do not have stitching to stop zipper pull from coming off when assembling. (One came off when I was attaching a front leg.)
