All I needed was a chair that went up and down, no arms and was comfy - 3 for 3 -- 4 for 4 if you count the price. This chair is perfect for a small office space and I would highly recommend it to someone who does light office work. If you are sitting for long periods of time, perhaps, something with a little more cushion would suffice, but for a few hours here and there, the chair is perfect. One huge note...the chair must be assembled with the lifter on the right hand side of the chair or else you will be sitting at a 20 degree angle (no, i did not read the installation isntructions carefully :-).
