The front of the chair sits at 20.5", a bit too tall for most people. I'm 5'11" and it's still slightly high for me. It will fit a 6' or taller person well. If using the ottoman, it will fit a shorter person. The ottoman sits about 4" too low (compared to the chair) and it might be better if it were slanted. The quality is just okay; about what you might expect with the price tag. It took 45 minutes to assemble; 30 minutes for the second chair. My wife gives it three stars, noting she wouldn't have bought them if she would have sat in one at a store. I would give it 3.5 stars if that were an option. The main reason is the height of the chair is too high and the ottoman sits too low in relation to the chair height. With a pillow or blanket on the ottoman, they are acceptable and so we will keep them for now.
