Ive had this chair at my desk for 8 months now and it is still in great shape and probably the most comfortable desk chair Ive ever had. I sit at my desk sometimes for 4 hours before getting up (ridiculous, I know). I ordered white and it is still bright. Its easy to clean with a lightly damp cloth. The curved shape of the seat and back and its level of firmness, which is about as cushy as it needs to be for me, are what I believe make it so comfortable.
