We call this the midget chair. It's very close to the ground, maybe 5 inches if that off the ground. The chair itself is small--this feels like it was supposed to be in a luxe princess castle playhouse. However, that all being said, it is actually very well made, with the material being very soft and luxurious, and the seat itself is plush and easy to curl up in. Overall, I like the chair quite a bit, but if you are larger than 5'4-5'5, then it may feel like you're sitting back at a seat at the rich kid's table.
