We bought this for my 8 year old daughter's desk. It looks great in her room (got the white) and appears much more expensive than the price we paid for it. Very modern. My husband had no difficulty putting it together and though it is a plastic it is not too rigid. It is very ergonomic and comfortable to sit in. However I don't see anyone much larger than my size being able to sit in it- I am 5'5 120 lb. My husband said that when I sat in it he saw the legs sort of flex outward and questioned whether or not there was a weight limit. It felt sturdy when I sat down so maybe this is part of the design because the plastic is also flexible which is what I think makes the chair comfortable. Only the test of time will tell how it will hold up. Overall a great purchase so far.
