Looks a bit further away in the photo. The seats have great cushion to it and make it very comfortable. Decent leg room, not bad not amazing.

While it looks high up, the view from this seat lets you take in the whole set. The bar in the front does not get in the way at all. If you are wanting to see the set more intimately, this may not be the best seat. Only thing that almost made me give 4 stars is the lack of space between the seat and wall, makes anyone passing by you to get to their seat a tight squeeze.
