The height is actually perfect for me. I do have a short inseam (pants with a 29" inseam, which is the shortest they go, need to be turned up for me), and I find that "normal" height seats are too high. When I have a laptop on my lap, the keyboard tips away from me. With these seats, it's perfectly flat.

Second, the level of the tray table and most importantly the arm rests are too low to comfortably settle into the seat.
I had an open seat next to me, so I didn't use my own tray table, but the arm rests were fine too. I guess you can't fit everyone.

I will say that the seat bottom padding was definitely not enough for SFO-BOS.
