I’m 5’4” and the minimum seat height is perfect. The 19” minimum listed in the dimensions includes the uncompressed padding height. Once you actually sit in the seat the minimum height will be closer to 16.5”-17”. 

I ordered the “linen” fabric which is quite neutral. Another review says it has a pink tint but mine doesn’t. (It could maybe vary with your room’s lighting.)

Assembly is easy and the only necessary tool is provided.

Update: not the best for back support but you can probably tell from the description. I just added a cushion.
