Will work for me. A bit easier to get out of them my 11 inch high seat. But if you are tall and have  knee problems or decreased leg strength you probably want a 17 inch high seat. This is just under 16. I am short so works for me. Do find  the seat base hits me about mid thigh and has a metal rod in the front. That may be uncomfortable when sitting any length of time .  Appears sturdy enough for me but would not recommend for a larger person. Love the color. Chair arrived in good shape but had obviously been opened and repackaged.
