I was looking for something that would give me a pop of color in the den. My initial thought was that the chairs are too small to be placed next to the sofa or loveseat. I've posted pictures that show their size in relation to my loveseat and the ottoman. When I moved the chairs to their own space, it works! I still get my pop of color and it does not look like I have baby furniture in the room.  I am 5'7" tall,  and my legs rest at a 90° angle when sitting. The back of the chair comes up to the top of shoulders/base of my neck. The chairs look fire engine red in the picture, but they really are a deep red almost burgubdy, as described. They are firm but comfortable. The cons: FedEx left the boxes upside down in a puddle of water and some of the legs were scratched.
