I was looking for a white office chair for my home office and this one fit the bill: both in looks and price. My husband put it together very easily and quickly. It's sturdy and it appears to be well made. The color is more of a soft ivory which I really like and goes well with my french/shabby chic decor. The fabric is soft, seat cushion is firm, the seat height adjustment works seamlessly (I'm 5'1" so I needed a chair that could adjust to my small stature), it swivels nicely, and even moves across my low pile carpet smoothly. Since it just arrived (ahead of time and with no problems) I can't really say if its built to last, but so far it seems like it will. I just have to get used to a firmer seat cushion, a shorter back and the arm-less style (my previous executive style chair was many years old, with a broken-in seat, a high back, and had arms).
