I love the style of this chair! I have a desk that I painted black and was in desperate need a chair that would go well with the style of the desk. I've been looking for a Banker's Chair for a while and was pleasantly surprised when I found it. I like that it has the pad which makes it somewhat comfortable....more so than only the wooden seat. Additionally, I like that the seat can be raised and lowered with the lever and that is on casters to easily move it. All in all I am very pleased with this purchase and look forward to enjoying it for many years to come. I would definitely recommend it and Wayfair.com.
