I like this. I actually got it for my dogs to sit on at the window. The 17 inch height is just do-able. One leg has been rubbed through the finish but it's
 not really noticeable unless you are close to it. It would be nice if it sprung back from use a little quicker but over all I am pleased with the look, fabric, style and cost. I got the tan color to fit into my brown and burnt orange mid century modern color scheme and to go with all those clean lines. 
I really needed something that would look nice in the front room and yet still be useable for those terrier needs. Certainly a decent solution.
