My husband and I chose this chair because we were looking for something lower profile and less bulky for our new home's study.   This fit the bill perfectly!  The chair is comfortable for me (5'4") and my husband (6'1") without looking like your standard, bulky computer chair.  This chair will not be in constant use;  it may be used for an hour a day or so.  We chose a chair without arms so that it can slide right under the desk and keep the floor clear.  We did choose to order and installer rollerblade-style caster wheels in lieu of the standard office chair wheels.  They're much quieter and "softer" on our hardwood floors.  We're very happy with our purchase!
