They are relatively comfortable. Seat height is good- my feet don’t completely touch the ground and I’m pretty average height. The legs are metal not wood but look close enough that most people won’t notice. The fabric is very soft. Great as desk chair, and I’m using the second as an accent chair. Would be fine as dining chairs as well assuming your dining table is average height. The only concern is that the fabric, being so soft, might not hold up to extended wear and tear. It doesn’t feel thin or flimsy right now, so only time will tell.
