Its a great height and color. The seats are comfortable with the only drawback being the sharp edges of the foot rails--which is why I gave it 4 stars instead of 5. It has a smooth top and isnt too big for my tiny dining room. Its really everything I was looking for. The chairs did take quite a bit of time to put together but Im hoping that just means theyre exceptionally sturdy. Time will tell. Overall Im ecstatic over this purchase.
