Love these chairs! Like many have mentioned in their reviews, the color is different from the picture. It is light gray rather than beige and the wood is grayish brown instead of brown. The seats are firm but not hard. They are comfortable for us. We don’t like super squishy chairs that sink in. They don’t seem to be taller than any other chair. They seem pretty standard height. They go really well in our breakfast nook with white table and linen curtains.
