While these chairs look beautiful the back rest is in such a position that you feel slightly reclined if using the back rest for support, and there is no adjustment to move the back rest forward.  What's more a problem is the wheels..  They don't turn in the direction you're moving your chair.  I am an esthetician and require my chair to slide easily around a facial/massage bed & this chair does not.  The casters don't move because of the way the leg support it built.  Once you sit & there is weight on the chair the caster is actually pressed way up and into the silver leg so it doesn't swivel the way it's supposed to.   Oiling doesn't help, we tried.   Just an FYI for anyone who needs back support & needs the swivel to work!
