I wanted a comfortable chair to study at my dining room table. It's a bit of a warmer blue which is good because my rug has teal blue in it & it doesn't clash. Ordered a second one so I can use them as "captain" chairs at both ends of the table, although I might use one in my office & only set it at the table when I have people over. I have to use a pillow behind my back because for some reason all chair manufacturers think you should lean back, which I find very uncomfortable! If it had a higher back & wheels it would be a perfect office chair, but it's very comfortable as it is & works for what I needed it for so I'm satisfied.
