I mostly bought this because it Miami Hurricanes orange and for the flip up arms, so it rolls under the desk. It's fairly comfortable for both cushioning in the seat and arms, and for lumbar support. It's a short back. I'm only 5' 7" and my neck rolls over the top of the chair. It's very stiff to recline but that's good for me, since I don't want to lean back all that much while at my computer.
