This was exactly what I was looking for - a mid-century styled chair that sat much higher than most low profile mid-century styles. This chair sits at a traditional height. It was a good price for good quality. We got the blue which is more like a deep turquoise. Definitely not a curl up with a good book chair. It sits upright and is suited for guest seating or conversational seating. The overall size is not foreboding (not overstuffed) and is right sized for a medium sized person. My husband is 6'-0" and I'm 5'-2" and they suit us both.
