We are using this chair in an office as an alternative to the typical desk chair. We bought it in blue and the color looks nice and a bit like denim. The chair was easy to put together and works well behind a desk. It's a bit taller than we expected but the high sloping arms work well. The only thing that was a bit surprising is that the seat is very firm. It's not a chair you would be comfortable relaxing in with a book. From the pictures you'd expect it to be a bit softer but in an office it's not too bad.
