The chair is very comfortable and does give much better support than my old chair. The seat cushion isn't as soft as I would like, but I'm still able to sit for long periods of time without getting sore. One feature I was disappointed to see this chair lacking is having armrests that can be extended outward. They can rotate, go up and down, and move forward and backward, but they can't extend outward. Overall, this is still a good chair though.
