I searched dozens of chairs and I am so happy with this one.  Note: I am 5' 1"-ish and 140 lbs.  I work from home and use the chair about 6 full hours per day.  I do not have "back issues" or other lumbar support needs, but I do suspect this chair would might be a problem for those that do.  I needed a chair that would accommodate my 250 lbs hubby if he ever was inclined to use it.  My feet barely touch the floor, which is fine with me.  The low arms allow me to get close to the desk.  I do find I need to use a feather pillow to support my back on occasion, but the chair has much flexibility for leaning, laying, lounging.  The color is a cream linen, with a zipper down the back.
