I bought 2 of these to place in front of a TV in the master bedroom. Yes, they are low to the floor but that is what we needed. They are low enough to not block of the TV from the bed, should we decide to watch from there or if we have our kids joining us. We get so many compliments on their design. We placed a rectangular fur pillow on each of them since they are in a home in the mountains. They look like chairs you would find in a high end furniture store.
