Looks nice...from a pure looks standpoint it's a great substitute for the $499 version from another retailer (we have both).  However it's flatter, has less padding, can't be raised as tall as that other chair, and is made with a slicker leatherette (not real leather).  I find it very uncomfortable to sit in for long periods of time when I work from home.  I'm going to buck up and just buy another of the $499 chairs.
