I wanted to get a 'good' chair, ALL of my chairs are old-  hard or lumpy or creaky-- and not comfortable. So I searched for a chair, just a sort-of cheap chair. This Mid-back desk chair seemed 'just right,'  So I got it. Now I sit in the chair, my feet are on the floor and my legs are comfortable. My back has soft pressure as I sit straight.  Sometimes I rock little, sometimes I lean back. I got a really good chair!!
