I bought this chair for my desk. We have hardwood floors and I don't like casters on the floor. The previous chair I was using sat too low and gave me a back ache. I liked the look of this one, so I ordered one to start. It is a beautiful chair and it looks great with my desk and cabinets in the office. I like that the seat is higher than a typical dinning chair. It was easy to put together. I was a little nervous about that because I had read reviews that said the arms were difficult. I didn't think it was difficult at all. I'm placing an order for a second chair for my husband's desk. It is a elegant, sturdy, beautiful chair. I'm ver happy with my purchase.
