This is the perfect desk for my situation where my home office is part of another room.  The chair is subtle in shape, color and with the lower back rest does not 'scream' desk chair.  It arrived on time and in good shape.  The only down side was the instructions for assembly did not indicate that you have to force the seat in between the handles.  It took both my husband and me tugging and pulling to get the seat in place to screw down.
