28 inches. That's the height of my table.
Sounds obvious, but I almost ordered emerald green chairs that were 26 inches tall. Would've looked like kids' furniture. So before you click buy, measure your table's height. That's the one decision that matters most: seat height vs. table height.
The math that saves your back
Seat height should be about 12 inches below the table apron. For a 28-inch table, you want a seat height of 16-18 inches. If you're between sizes, go taller. Adjustable chairs exist but they're rare in this color.
Green upholstery: the wear report
After three weeks, my emerald velvet shows some flattening on the seat. Not bad — just don't buy light green velvet if you eat spaghetti. Dark emerald hides stains way better. Fabric type matters: velvet feels nice but collects dust. Microfiber is easier to clean.
Delivery pain, in brief
Boxes are heavy. Two-person lift minimum. My set arrived with one scratched leg. Check the joints first — see I Bought Rattan Dining Chairs Without Checking the Joints — Here's for what happens if you don't.
The one decision: buy one chair first?
Not feasible for most, but if you can, test one before ordering a full set. Returns are a pain — VidaXL Dining Chairs: The 19-Inch Mistake That Cost Me a Return Fee taught me that. If you must order all four, measure twice.
Color and light: don't skip this
Emerald green changes under your kitchen lights. Mine looked almost black in the corner. Hold a fabric swatch where the chairs will live before committing.
Real talk: what I'd do differently
I'd check the under-table clearance more carefully. My chairs hit the table's underside when pushed in. If you have a compact table, watch out.
That's it. Measure. Then buy.
First week's a learning curve. You'll survive.
