As most of the world, I am now working from home, spending 12 hours a day at the kitchen table on my computer.  The kitchen chair was killing my back, and my ergonomics were horrible as I was over-reaching for the keyboard.  Problems all solved - this chair is FABULOUS!  Very comfortable, easy to assemble, love that it does not look like a huge office chair in my kitchen.  Being able to raise or lower solved the over-reaching.  The gray blends nicely, the base is a nice weathered wood that goes with my decor.  Great chair!  I would highly recommend.
