This chair is very comfortable to sit in, with a full sized seat and good back support. It is just the right height for what we looking for to use at our breakfast bar. Good looking as well. When it was delivered it was very well packaged with no damage to the wood, even with a ding on the outside of the box.  I did not realize, however, that it would come completely unassembled.  It took almost three hours to put together for the first one; by the fourth one it took about 30 minutes.  One rung did not come with predrilled holes, however, so we are hoping that will not led to any problems down the road. In the end, well worth the effort.  If you are not daunted by carpentry, then this is a great chair to get.  If you don't know basic carpentry skills, find something else (or have a really good friend put them together for you).
