I bought this as a "treat yourself" gift as I've always wanted a sturdy but comfortable chair. I'm an IT professional and occasionally have to work long overnight hours from home and this chair has helped me make it through some rough nights! I also like to game in my "downtime" and I can safely say that this is the best chair I've ever owned. Super adjustable, strong construction (I'm not a tiny guy, so this was important) and I've had no problems after an initial base replacement that Vertigear took care of very quickly.
