I'm 5'0" tall and when I sit all the way back in these chairs, my feet can't touch the ground. I need to buy pillows to put behind my back to "shorten" the depth of the seat. The cushions are OK - better than most - but they're not super comfortable. The wood is nice but scratches VERY easily. Be careful when assembling. Directions say use 2 people to assemble - it's 100% true. The pieces are heavy and it's difficult to assemble alone - although it can be done. I did it, and I'm not handy at all!
