I love this chair! I bought this for sitting at my desk. We paired it with the Wilbur desk another person suggested. They are perfect together! This chair is beautiful and so comfortable. The fabric/cushion part is firm, but the shape of the chair makes this feel so good for my back. Can definitely sit for long periods of time in it. Assembly/putting on the legs was pretty easy and straight forward. Helps to have a second set of hands to help by holding things down in place while screwing together. Highly recommend!
