I wanted a task chair that looked stylish while being comfortable and that's exactly what I got. Everyone who sits in it loves the feel and look of it. Initially, I wanted a drafting-height chair but I couldn't find anything I liked, so instead I bought this chair (on sale) and a height extension kit for 30 bucks on Amazon and I couldn't be happier! My only true issue with this purchase was that the assembly instructions were absolutely horrible to understand and seemed outdated.
