I really like this chair .I am a designer . Recently,  I used a pair in a master bedroom in an apartment that was of adequate size - but I had to be aware of the scale of the pieces I was using in the entire room . I felt the chair was comfortable. It did not have a high back -but more of a mid shoulder height-and the pair did not overpower the room 
They were heavy and I felt well made . I liked the "fabric hand" and soft color , the espresso wood tapered legs and the nail head trim that added a nice accent to the chair .
