The seat back is a little lower than I had anticipated and it’s a firm chair, but not uncomfortable firm. The material is nice and soft and the dusty blue is a beautiful blue grey color. They serve the purpose for our formal living room space which was designed to be more a conversation space. We did have an issue that one chair came with black legs and one chair came with gold legs, I ordered two chairs with black legs. Wayfair got a replacement chair on the way, but it has not yet been received.
