The first thing my husband said when he saw these chairs I wanted to order for our Dining room was “They look like office chairs.” Now though, he says I made the right choice. These chairs are comfortable no matter how long we are at our dining room table, whether it’s for a meal, a board game or going over paperwork - which all happens. In our dining room regularly. 
As for me, I do find I’m able to touch the floor, just barely, even at my short height of just under 5 ft. This was important for me as I find some chairs too tall and put my legs to sleep. The chair padding is a bit firm and stiff st first but give it a few days and you’ll have a nice cushion for sitting.
I’d recommend these chairs! Lastly, they were a cinch to out together. Five minutes a chairs and we were done!
