I have tried 4 chairs now and I wish I would have kept this one because the seat was the most comfortable of any I have tried since. This chair had just the right degree of cushioning as compared for example to a different chair I tried where I literally sunk way down in the middle 23s of the cushion. Another I tried was so firm it felt like it didnt give at all. Again looking back I probably should have stuck with this 1st chair I tried but at the time I thought I wanted one with a little lower back than this truly high back one. Im 5 9 and 170 pounds and the top of the back was above the top of my head. I would recommend the chair to people that want a truly high back chair.
