I am a 5'2" female and just purchased an Apple 24" desktop computer (I LOVE IT!), only to find that I needed a higher chair to be able to sit ergonomically correct. This drafting chair is PERFECT!! It was super easy to put together (although I needed my husband to make sure I tightened the screws enough as I have MS and have lost strength in my hands). The seat cushion and arm rests are VERY comfortable, and the back support is a blessing!! I just cannot get over how comfortable this chair is - and how pretty! I was hesitant about buying the red, but it's a lovely burst of color in the room.
