It is a lovely piece, feels solid and looks fantastic. But it gets uncomfortable within an hour. This is not a chair to sit on all day. First, the design keeps your legs straight; during the day you will most likely want to separate your knees at some point but with the curved edges you are not able to do so; this also prevents you from bending one leg over or sitting cross legged. Second, the cushion is a bit thin so unless you supply extra cushion you will feel sore rather quickly. Then, the seat is a bit too narrow (I am 5'9). Plus, no adjustments besides hight. This is a great chair if you will only sit for short periods, but not for daily, all day use.
