This chair is exactly what I was looking for! Although it doesnt recline, its more comfortable than I imagined a non-reclining office chair could be. Its also very high quality. All the elements (upholstery, wood backing, legs, height actuator, etc.) seem sturdy and well made. The chair can be used with or without the casters which is an added bonus if you have carpet and dont need the wheels. Overall, a great chair that I would recommend and purchase again given the opportunity or need.
