I looked at many chairs on quite a few sites selling them. I finally chose this chair based on reviews. I didn't want a chair with arms as they are usually too high. This one has arms that can flip up. Yes, they are a bit too high to use with my improvised 'desk', but it is nice to have the option to rest my arms if just watching or reading something not needing ergonomically correct posture for my arms with the mouse on my desk top computer.  My place is small and no surfaces to work on,  but it was easy enough to assemble. Very comfortable, fits my 'desk' looks great. It was on sale when I purchased it, made the right choice on this one!
