I purchased this chair because I desperately needed a new office chair, but have never been comfortable with "traditional" office chairs. This chair met my requirements and was relatively cheap, so I thought I would give it a shot.The instructions recommend that 2 adults assemble the chair, but I was fine assembling it on my own. Assembly was very straight-forward and the directions were far more helpful than other pieces of furniture I have had to put together. This was also helped by the fact that the chair is so light-weight.The chair fits the room perfectly and is very comfortable. It is well cushioned, but on the firm side, which is exactly the support I was looking for. Granted, I just purchased this chair so I am still in the honeymoon period. I really hope the firmness keeps up, but only time will tell that.
