I had high hopes when ordering this chair and it certainly delivered. It was easy to put together (took 6-7 minutes by myself) and most important to mention: it looks even better in person. The chair is smooth and leathery (faux), and the cushion sits high and firm. I'm using this chair in my home office with a black trim glass desk and it fits perfectly. If you hate the look of typical computer desk chairs, this is a more design-friendly alternative.
