This chair was intended for a specific desk - that sold out - but works well with my second choice desk.  Space in my son's apartment is limited so this stoll is just the right size.  The height adjustment works smoothly and it's very sturdy and comfortable.  Anyone can put it together so don't pay extra to have it done for you.  The white is true "white" and looks great  but I would advise spaying with Scotchgard to repel dirt, spills and color transfer from clothes.
