Very nice chair with soft "pleather" fabric. I was looking for a chair that would work with a standing desk--versatile enough to go up and down with the desk. This works perfectly. I had read that ergonomically it's best to have your elbows at an angle to allow your hands to sit on the desk naturally and the armrest of this chair provides that comfortably. It is a little tight on the hips so if you are hippy I would be careful in selecting it.
