I'm 5' 6" and the chair is comfortable! It seems well built and made of good materials. Contrasting stitching on the leather armrests and seat are a nice touch. Armrests lift up allowing you to either push the chair close to the desk or sit cross-legged. The assembly was relatively easy. One person can do it. We'll see how it holds up over time.  For the money I would say this is great value and would recommend.
