After a lot of research I realised I needed to spend a bit more for a proper comfy office chair. This is comfy-the cushion seat makes a gentle woosh sound when I sit on it, which I like! The stitching does look a bit cheap, but overall the appearance is good. When my partner saw it he said 'who do you think you are-President of United States?' Overall very pleased-can do a day in the home office in comfort. Joy.
