I bought this because I wanted a modern desk chair I could fit, unoccupied, under an old desk with a 19" clearance. Anyone looking for a very low chair should be aware that the seat height range apparently doesn't include the height of the wheel base, so a minimum height of "14.5 inches" actually works out to about 18.5". However, the chair is comfortable and was easy to assemble. The blue upholstery is a bit darker than the photo (light denim rather than powder blue), but is still a nice color.
