Love these chairs!  We ordered the "green" and, as many other reviewers have noted, it is not green.  It really is a pretty shade of teal.  The herringbone pattern in the fabric is subtle, but it helps the color fit in a variety of decorating schemes.  The chairs, in my opinion, are not higher than normal.  They are, however, deeper than average (which my 36 inch inseam loves).  If your legs are not long, a lumbar pillow would be perfect.  Super easy to put together and arrived very well packaged.
