I got this chair because my office is tiny and my son's big comfy chair is perfect for him.  One of us had to downsize and I decided it would be me.  This chair is perfect for my office.  It is surprisingly comfortable.  The foot rest is in just the right place for my short legs.  The chair looks rather austere and I doubted it would be right for me; but it is.  I'm glad y'all carry such nice furniture.
