This task chair is very comfortable! I love so much about it. To start with the padding the seat and back cushions are a perfect mix of style and softness. I like that it is not too plush, but retains the softness that allows for long sitting times. I have back issues, so lumbar support is a must. I am so happy this one has an adjustable tension for the back to change the incline. The base is a matte black, and the cushions on the one I ordered are close to a winter white. Not quite cream, but not stark white neither. There are no arms, not wheels, but I love that about this chair because it makes it more stable base, and no arms to bump into my desk. The seat is wider than most task chairs too! That is great when I want to just cross my legs and sit comfortably. All in all, I am so glad I ordered this chair. It has a contemporary style, but can also go with traditional elements. 5 stars for sure!
