My my study room is in a simple white theme so I would like to have a white office chair. I went to Staples and Office Depot, to my surprise all I could find were those heavy black office chairs. I am happy that this one is exactly what I was looking for. It is pretty cute and fits well with my other furnitures and the black seat and back would avoid looking dirty over the long run. It is not too heavy but steady enough. You would need two people to assemble though, which makes sense.
