I use this as a desk chair and it works fine. I need to find the allen key I used to put it together because after a week the back is already a little loose. Not hard to assemble but the directions could be more clear. I got the cream color & it looks a bit greener than anticipated which I don’t mind. The screws are exposed which is not my favorite but it works well for my purposes. Pretty comfortabl though the back is not as supportive as I might like for a desk chair.
