This chair is absolutely beautiful and is very comfortable. Be aware that there is a weight requirement for lowering the gas lift though. I weigh about 100-105 lbs and could not for the life of me get the seat to lower. Wayfair was exceptional in their customer support though and sent me a new one thinking it was defective (there was nothing to suggest there was a weight requirement). Low and behold I was finally able to get someone to come over and test it out for me and it lowered for them.
