Bought this for my mother who is a yoga instructor and loves sitting in lotus with straight back, and her desk is oddly high. So I was looking for an extra wide chair with straight back and with flexible seat height. This chair was like a dream. Not to mention that it happened to match the catpeting in her room. I am completely thrilled with the purchase. Assembly waas piece of cake, delivery was fast, price was great for the value. I tried it out myself, was a bit hard for me, but I am overweight. She is not though and she said its perfect balance of seat cushion softness. She sits in for hours and hours and truly adores it.
